Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has said that Bengaluru Habba and IIFA awards ceremony would be held in the city in December or January.
Speaking to reporters after holding a meeting with IIFA and Bengaluru Habba representatives on Friday, he said, “We had discussions with the organisers over the conduct of Bengaluru Habba and IIFA awards ceremony. It will likely be held in December or January. We would like to highlight Bengaluru’s culture during this festival.”
“The IIFA event also had a fashion show in its Telangana edition, but we will not include that here. Over the last few years, the Kannada film industry has reached bigger heights than its Hindi counterpart. We would like to support the industry by hosting such events,” the DCM said.
“As Dasara will be celebrated in October, we have told the organisers to hold the event either in December or January. This is a good opportunity to showcase our culture to international guests. The organisers were of the opinion that Bengaluru is the best location for such events, apart from Mumbai,” he added.
