New Delhi/UNI: The India International Film Academy awards, scheduled to be held in March at Indore, has been postponed, due to the growing threat of Coronavirus in the country.

''With due regards to the growing concerns around the spread of Coronavirus and keeping the health and safety of IIFA fans and the general community at large, it has been decided, after consulting the Madhya Pradesh government, the IIFA management and stakeholders from the film industry, to postpone to a late date, the much-awaited IIFA weekend and award celebrations, which were originally scheduled in the end of March 2020,'' a statement from IIFA said.

''IIFA is fully committed to ensure the safety of citizens and legions of it's fans, who travel from across the globe to attend and experience the magic of IIFA. A fresh date and plan for hosting the coveted ceremony in Madhya Pradesh will be announced at the earliest,'' it added.
