SRK, Maniesh Paul and Karan Johar to host 70th Filmfare Awards in Ahmedabad

Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, and Maniesh Paul unite to celebrate seven decades of cinematic excellence in Ahmedabad

"It's been a journey of love, cinema, and magic - Shah Rukh Khan"

Mumbai, Sep 30

The upcoming edition of the Filmfare Awards, will be hosted by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Maniesh Paul and Karan Johar.

Audiences can look forward to a night full of wit, warmth, and magnetic stage presence as they lead the night that honours the finest talent of 2024, while also celebrating seven decades of Filmfare's legacy in Indian cinema.

Talking about the same, Shah Rukh Khan said in a statement, "From the first time I held the Black Lady in my hands, to sharing countless memories with my colleagues and fans over the years; it's been a journey of love, cinema, and magic. To return as a co-host for the 70th year is truly special, and I promise we'll make it a night to remember, full of laughter, nostalgia and celebration of the movies we all love".

Karan Johar said, "Filmfare is not just an award, it's a legacy that has shaped the very narrative of Indian cinema and continues to live across generations. From the year 2000, I have attended almost every Filmfare Awards and hosted many as well. As we celebrate 70 glorious years, I am truly delighted to co-host what promises to be one of the most memorable nights ever".

The upcoming edition of the Filmfare Awards marks their 70 years.

The Filmfare Awards 2025 will be held on October 11, 2025 at EKA Arena, Kankaria Lake, Ahmedabad.

The two recently made an appearance in 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood', which marked the directorial debut of SRK's son, Aryan.

Earlier, KJo took to his social media to shower praise on Bollywood star Bobby Deol. Sharing a video clip of Bobby Deol's podcast interview with Raj Shamani, he wrote, "Bobby is undoubtedly one of the best people in our business... kind, gentle and full of love... Seeing him emerge as a movie star force in his second innings makes the entire fraternity celebrate. I am always rooting loudly for him and always will... And that's a result of his immense love and goodwill".

Bobby in the video clip was seen talking about how, despite coming from a Bollywood family, he did not get the projects or recognition that he deserved. He also mentioned how constant lows in life made him find solace in alcohol. Karan Johar's heartfelt words highlighted a truth that the industry and fans have now come to recognise.

While I'm excited about the hosts, I hope they focus more on celebrating cinema and less on insider jokes. Sometimes these award shows feel like private parties. Let's make it inclusive for all fans watching! 🙏

70 years of Filmfare! That's incredible. My grandfather used to read Filmfare magazine in the 60s. Three generations of our family have grown up with these awards. Emotional moment for Indian cinema lovers ❤️
