"We are celebrating all of Indian cinema here which is not just Bollywood. So this year we have also included cinema from the South, the biggest representative of which is Mr Kamal Hassan who is present here. Indian cinema is not homogenous, just like our culture, so IIFA is slowly trying to provide a global platform to regional cinema as well. This year we have South, we'll slowly move to other regions as well," said Azmi.
