The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) has initiated a charity project to provide rehabilitation measures for the Tamil population of Sri Lanka that suffered due to a decades-old war between the country's defence forces and the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

As part of the charity project, a cricket match will be played between Bollywood stars and Sri Lankan cricketers.

There will be three teams and their captains are Sunil Shetty, Hrithik Roshan and Kumar Sangakkara.

The match referees of these cricket ties would be film stars Sanjay Dutt and Bipasha Basu.

"IIFA is important for the film industry. It is the only award function, which showcases India internationally. It gives India a platform for bilateral ties and relationship building with other countries," said Sunil Shetty.

Musical brothers Salim and Sulaiman Merchant were also spotted at the event.
