Bollywood Oscars postponed as India coronavirus cases rise

The International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA), dubbed Bollywood’s Oscars, has been postponed due to fears about the coronavirus outbreak, organizers announced on Friday.

The three-day awards ceremony scheduled for the end of the month was being deferred “with due regard to the growing concerns around the spread of Covid-19 virus and keeping the health and safety of IIFA’s fans and the general community at large,” the IIFA said. (dpa)

The event – the biggest event of the year for India’s massive movie industry – was due to be in the central state of Madhya Pradesh from March 27-29.
