Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Amitabh Bachchan and his family have reportedly given IIFA a miss this year.u00a0&quot;It would have been good to have the Khans and the Bachchans, but I hope that not having them won&#39;t make the award function look any less,&quot; Abhay said Thursday at the green carpet of the world premiere of his &quot;Shanghai&quot;.u00a0 <img alt="" src="http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2012/may/Abhay-Deol_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 487px; " /> &quot;I&#39;d like to believe, just like we had the Khans and the Bachchans, we have all sorts of artists who are good enough to support an award function,&quot; he added. Tejinder Pal Singh Bagga, president of Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena, filed a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking an interim stay on the release of film &quot;Shanghai&quot; until its song &quot;Bharat Mata Ki Jai&quot; was deleted.u00a0The court, however, rejected the plea and cleared the film for screening. u00a0Abhay is enjoying the happy ending. &quot;It has become a trend of doing something like that and it is quite sad. But the good thing is that they (complainants) exercise their rights to put in a PIL and the high court turned it down, holding up the democracy. It was a very positive outcome at the end of the day,&quot; he said. Directed by Dibaker Banerjee, the film had a star studded premiere here Friday with celebrities like Zoya Akhtar, Dia Mirza and her beau Sahil Sangha, Kalki Koechlin, Omi Vaidya, Vishal-Shekhar, Sameera Reddy, Ramesh Sippy-Kiran Juneja, Ayushmann Khurrana, Chitrangada Singh attending the screening. &quot;Shanghai&quot;, a political drama, also stars Emraan Hashmi, but he was missing from the premier as he is not keeping well.u00a0Organised by Wizcraft International Entertainment, the three-day cine event started Thursday.u00a0
