Actor Saif Ali Khan will be hosting  International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Rocks, a music and fashion event at the upcoming IIFA weekend in Toronto.

Saif, who has performed on the IIFA stage in Dubai, Yorkshire and in Colombo last year, will anchor the fashion event on the second night of IIFA weekend. The event is expected to be attended by 7,500 people from Bollywood and fashion industry.

The event is aimed at raising funds for the IIFA Foundation, set up to support families of the film industry workers who have been adversely affected during the production of films.

This year, IIFA Rocks will also announce the 12th Floriana IIFA Technical award winners. There will be several musical performances including the noted trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who will take to the stage to perform live. “Saif is super excited to be associated with this project and is looking forward to put his best foot forward,” says a source.
