Sanjay Leela Bhansali won the Best Director for Bajirao Mastani and “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” was named the Best Film at a glittering ceremony here.
The main awards night of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) celebrations saw a melange of tinsel town celebrities all decked up to soak in the colours, magic and revelry that Bollywood exudes. There were performances, humourous acts and an entertaining anchoring job by Shahid Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar, who made a quirky entry on donkeys.
In the Best Actor in Supporting Role category, Anil Kapoor won the award among men for “Dil Dhadakne Do”, and Priyanka Chopra among the women clinched the honour for “Bajirao Mastani”.
