WHAT! A love story to be shot with the backdrop of this year s IIFA awards? Read the details here!

Most of the Bollywood cinema has been about stars, superstars and the larger than life sets. Besides the remunerations of the stars, the film s producers-financers have to shell out a humongous amount of money in constructing mega sets.

Well, one smart film maker is playing all the smart and right moves with his upcoming project. As per Bollywood Hungama s highly placed reliable sources, a top film maker (name withheld for security reasons) is making a film, whose shooting will take place extensively in and around the IIFA ceremony, which will take place in the USA next month. The film s cast is definitely a prized catch. As per our sources, the untitled film will be starring Sonakshi Sinha in the main lead and will boast of a heavy cameo list including the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Lara Dutta and many others. Besides Sonakshi Sinha, an A-list actor is also going to be locked very shortly.

The film s makers are intending to shoot the film for as many as 20 days in New York (this year s venue for IIFA), and then do a short and nal schedule in Mumbai to wrap up the project. The film is reportedly a love story which has been set on the backdrop of the IIFA awards. The film s makers are expected to make an official announcement of the project very soon. The movie is being planned to be released in mid- 2018.
