Watch what Salman Khan has to say for 23rd IIFA 2023



Mega Star Salman Khan has always been a part of the IIFA, and this year he will once again demonstrate his star power and captivate a global audience with his larger-than-life performance.

Vicky Kaushal's magnetism and Abhishek Bachchan's eccentricity and spontaneity will undoubtedly entertain and enthral the audience as the attractive duo rock the stage as stylish hosts.

Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kriti Sanon, Nora Fatehi, Rakul Preet Singh, and others are set to light up the stage with exciting and spectacular performances.

Aside from some grooves, it will be a memorable night for all music fans as musical geniuses such as Amit Trivedi, Nucleya, Sunidhi Chauhan, Badshah, and Mika Singh will captivate the audience with soulful and rocking vocals.

Last but not least, our multi-talented personality Farah Khan will be in charge of the hosting duties at the IIFA Rocks. Her sense of humour has always been on the desired level, and we can expect her to make the audience giggle once more.

The show marks the Kardashians' return to E!, which hosted "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" for over 20 seasons. After the reality show ended in 2021, the Kardashians signed a deal with Hulu for "The Kardashians," which premiered in 2022 and was recently renewed for Season 3.

The two-part "speciality" series, produced by Optomen and distributed internationally by All3Media International, explains how the family established one of the world's most recognised brands and changed the face of social media while reaching extreme wealth.

Among those who have contributed are "The Hills" reality stars Heidi and Spencer Pratt, former People Magazine editor-in-chief Larry Hacket, and E! co-founder Larry Namer, as well as a slew of other journalists, TV executives, and the Kardashians' former manager.

The show debuted earlier this year on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom and has since been sold to several markets. It has been licenced in a pan-Scandinavian contract with TV4, covering SVOD and free TV rights. Meanwhile, C More has purchased SVOD rights in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, while TV4 in Sweden and MTV in Finland have obtained free TV rights.

TV2 in Denmark, Movistar+ in Spain, RTL in the Netherlands, and DPG in Belgium have also struck co-exclusive SVOD deals. The series is now airing on Nine Network in Australia, and Discovery in New Zealand.

"The Kardashians are one of the most identifiable brands in the world," said Rachel Job, senior VP of non-scripted at All3Media International, "so we are thrilled to be able to deliver a series with such impressive global appeal to clients across three continents." Optomen's specialised documentary gives an insightful and refreshingly neutral look into the Kardashians, providing our clients with interesting new information and nostalgic amusement."

The story of Taj season 2 begins 15 years after S1 ended, and charters Salim's journey from being the exiled enemy of the Mughal empire to seeking blood and revenge in an attempt to become the next emperor. Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India said, "The first season of the show received enormous love from the audience, and we look forward to canvassing a fresh chapter of Taj in season 2 with more interesting situations unravelling to keep our viewers hooked. This season captures the new conflicts that arise within the Mughal empire, with each character evolving to showcase a much more exciting plot. 'Taj - Reign of Revenge' reaffirms our commitment of presenting engaging and gripping content on ZEE5 and we are looking forward to another successful season". Excited about the new season, actor Aashim Gulati aka Prince Salim communiqué, "Periodic dramas are something that has always caught my eye and now being in one has been an exhilarating journey. I am glad that the audiences have loved season one of the series and all I can say is that Salim's character arc in S2 is something to look out for. S2 is grittier, darker, bolder and personally for me, my best yet."
