Aamir Khan IFFM 2025: The echo of Indian cinema is going to be heard once again on the soil of Australia. The grand Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM 2025) is going to be organized in August 2025, which will run from 14 to 24 August (IFFM 2025 Date). This festival is a celebration of the colors and diverse stories of Indian cinema on an international platform. The highlight of this year's festival is the presence of Aamir Khan (Aamir Khan Guest At IFFM 2025) as the chief guest and the screening of many historical films.

Aamir Khan will be the chief guest, will hoist the tricolor

This time, superstar Aamir Khan has been chosen as the chief guest of IFFM. Aamir will not only attend the opening ceremony but will also hoist the Indian national flag 'tricolour' in Melbourne on the occasion of Indian Independence Day (15 August). Festival director Mitu Bhowmick Lange called it an emotional and proud moment, which will be a symbol of unity and respect for the Indian and Australian community. Aamir Khan's cinema has had a deep impact on audiences not only in India but all over the world.

Special screening of Sitare Zameen Par and Aamir will be honored

A special screening of Aamir Khan's iconic film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' will be organised at the festival. Apart from this, a special section dedicated to his unique contribution to cinema has also been created, in which Aamir's film journey will be honoured.

Around 75 Indian and international films will be screened at IFFM 2025. These films will highlight important issues such as gender equality, race, sexuality, disability, female representation and diversity.
