60th Britannia Filmfare Awards 2014: Things to look forward to

The stage is set for the 60th Filmfare Awards and the red carpet has been rolled out to welcome the chosen few. The who's who of the film industry is gearing up to put their best foot forward at the award ceremony scheduled to take place on January 31, 2015. Winner or not, the ceremony is a treat for all those present what with the splendid performances and engaging activities planned to keep everyone entertained. In its 60th year, the Filmfare Awards will keep the audience glued to their seats with its offering. Let's take a look at all that's being planned to make it an evening to remember…

Salman's ‘Kick'ass performance: From what we have heard, buzz is that Salman Khan is all set to perform at the 60th Filmfare Awards. The actor had an amazing year what with the success of his film, Kick, and is gearing up for the release of three more films this year. It wouldn't be wrong to claim that Salman is having the time of his life. From what we have seen of him on TV, Salman also seems to have a great stage presence and hence it would be a delight to watch him shake a leg to his blockbuster songs that ruled the music charts last year.

Arjun Kapoor's ‘State'ment: In his performance, Arjun Kapoor is slated to sing praises of the five superstars of the industry who continue to rule the roost at the box-office. After a stellar performance in 2 States and the recently released Tevar, Arjun Kapoor has managed to carve a niche for himself in the industry. A self-confessed ‘Salman da fan,' Arjun will be seen dancing to the tunes of the reigning heroes who continue to mint money for the industry. We are sure that Arjun's killer moves will fetch him a roaring round of applause.

Shraddha is the dancing ‘Basanti': Like her ABCD2 co-star Varaun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor too is all set to stun everyone with her performance. She has been rehearsing her moves with ace choreographer, Ganesh Hegde, and seems too excited to perform in front of a live audience. Speaking to Filmfare, she says that she is glad to work with Ganesh Hegde and also that she hopes to do justice to his steps. To this, Ganesh is seen replying that he finds Shraddha to be mindblowing, excellent and gorgeous. Coming from an expert, that comment does seem like a responsibility to live up to.

Varun's ‘Hero'ic dance: From his attire and dance moves, it seems that Varun will pay a tribute to the changing face of Indian cinema. In a video recorded for Filmfare, Varun is seen confessing that he will indeed be seen in different characters during the course of his performance. While he was reluctant to give away the details, he did mention that he was very excited for the performance. He also promised to end his dance sequence as himself. This hero will surely steal the show on the awards night!

Highway or the Alia way: She has had a very successful year what with three back-to-back hit films and is raring to go. The actress will also be seen playing one of the hosts of the evening. Alia turned up the heat in a sharp white suit at the Filmfare pre-award party and would be interesting to see what she would choose as her attire for the evening of the awards. If Alia and Kapil host a segment of the awards together, we are sure it will make for a fun watch.

Comedy evening with Kapil: One of the highlights of the evening is going to be the quick and witty one-liners by Kapil Sharma. Chosen as the host of the evening, Kapil is all set to infuse a dose of laughter to the proceedings. Kapil has a strong stage presence and is a crowd favourite. Besides these factors, Kapil's spontaneity also comes in handy while in a fix. Needless to say, with him as the host, the evening would be a fun-filled one!

Karan Johar aayenge: Karan Johar has been a constant at the Award ceremony for a long time now. Thanks to his impeccable dialogue delivery and amazing sense of timing, Karan Johar plays the part of the host to the tee. Add to that his stylish appearances on the red carpet and you have all the makings of a blockbuster. That's exactly what the awards this year are going to be!
