South Indian International Movie Awards, also known as the SIIMA Awards, is one of the most popular entertainment award ceremonies in India. As we all know, it rewards the artistic and technical achievements of the South film industry every year.
This year, which marks the 10th edition of the prestigious award show, is being hosted in Bengaluru, Karnataka on the 10th and 11th of September. This edition will be the first-ever multi-language awards show for the city, making SIIMA even more special.
For the unversed, the ninth edition of the award ceremony happened at the Hyderabad International Convention Center (HICC) in Hyderabad.
Launched in 2012 by Vishnu Vardhan Induri and Brinda Prasad Adusimilli, the idea of SIIMA is to appreciate filmmakers from across the South Indian film industries: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, and provide a platform to promote South Indian films in international markets.
