IIFA 2022 took on an electrifying note on Thursday night with a star-spangled concert featuring some of the best musical talents of the country and a fashion parade curated by Falguni and Shane Peacock, rounded off by the announcement of the first series of nine technical awards.
The concert, hosted by Farah Khan with Aparshakti Khurana, saw a power-packed performance by Devi Sri Prasad, the man behind the music of ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ and ‘KGF 2’, followed by virtuoso performances by Guru Randhawa, Honey Singh, Tanishq Bagchi, Neha Kakkar, Asees Kaur, Ash King and Zahrah S. Khan.

Aanand L. Rai’s ‘Atrangi Re’ got two awards (best choreography for the ‘Chaka Chak’ number, Vijay Ganguly; and background score, A.R. Rahman.
