This year, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) will be celebrating its 10th year amongst much fervour. Filmmaker Karan Johar will be doing the honours of hoisting the Indian National Flag.

During the 10 day celebration of Indian cinema (with courage as its central theme), the key highlight of the festival is the annual flag hoisting. Karan will hoist the flag in the presence of a large public gathering.

Speaking about the honour, Karan said, “I’m looking forward to be celebrating Indian Independence Day in one of the world’s most vibrant multicultural cities, Melbourne. The sense of community and unity centres around the pride of our flag and the celebration of India’s independence is something I’m looking forward to. It’s truly an honour for me to be the one this year to hoist our tricolour in Melbourne.”
