“This is going to be blockbuster weekend… It will be magical. It is important to be told how our cinema transcends borders and reaches people. It is celebration of India, Indian cinema,” Priyanka said at IIFA weekend opening press conference.

Both Priyanka and Kapoor had took a three-day tour to Los Angeles, Tampa Bay and New York, earlier this year to create a buzz about the 15th edition of the awards extravaganza.
“It is a wonderful experience being here. We will make this IIFA weekend unforgettable and historic weekend and it will turn out to be memorable. We intend to give people an opportunity to witness one of the finest celebrations of culture and cinema,” Kapoor said.
Sonakshi, who attended IIFA in 2010 in Sri Lanka, said she is happy to be back in the Bollywood extravaganza.
