A galaxy of stars including Freida Pinto, Rani Mukerji, Vicky Kaushal, Ram Charan, Richa Chadha, RajKumar Hirani, Ali Fazal, Simi Grewal and Malaika Arora will attend this year's Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) to be held from August 10 to 22. Announcing the details of the fest, the IFFM director Mitu Bhowmick Lange said this year the festival will screen over 60 movies in 22 languages during the 12 day long program with Tabrez Noorani's film "Love Sonia" as its opening night film.

"Love Sonia is a relevant film for the festival which is on the theme of inclusion,'' Lange said adding that Pinto, Chadha, Mrunal Thaku and Noorani will be present on the night. This year the festival will honour Shashi kapoor and Sridevi, the two loved actors of Bollywood who passed away recently, by holding special screenings of their two iconic films Siddhartha and Chandni.
