Amid the coronavirus outbreak which has also reached India, IIFA management, after consulting with the Madhya Pradesh government and stakeholders from the film industry, has decided to postpone the much-awaited IIFA Weekend and Awards 2020 celebrations to a later date.

The decision has been taken over the growing concerns around the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. IIFA was originally scheduled at the end of March.
