MUMBAI: The 12th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards will take place in Toronto in June next year, making it the first North American city to host the awards ceremony.

Since the IIFA will be held at Toronto, many big names from the American film industry are being invited to attend. Of them is Cameron Diaz who will be sharing the dais with Amitabh Bachchan.

Says a source at the IIFA, "The IIFA organisers Wizcraft have already spoken to Diaz. Events are being planned to accommodate Bachchan and Diaz on the same platform for several discussions on the coming together of Bollywood and Hollywood."

The IIFA will start off with a four-day festival and an industry forum.
