In the wake of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan's death, the International Indian Film Academy Awards 2022 (IIFA), which was earlier scheduled to
take place in Abu Dhabi from May 18 to May 22, has been postponed.

As per a source, the star-studded affair will now be held on July 14, July 15 and July 16 in Abu Dhabi. The IIFA organisers decided to re-schedule the event after the UAE Ministry of Presidential Affairs announced a 40-day mourning period across the country starting Friday, May 13, over the demise of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
