IIFA Awards 2018: Tumhari Sulu To Newton, Complete List Of Nominations

New Delhi: The 19th edition of the Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards are all set to put up a blockbuster show in Bangkok on Sunday night, ahead of which let's browse through the list of nominations which were released last month. Vidya Balan's Tumhari Sulu scored the highest number of nominations this year - it occupied spots in seven categories as it fetched nominations for both Vidya Balan and filmmaker Suresh Triveni in the Best Actor (Female) and Best Direction categories respectively. The other categories in which Tumhari Sulu has also been nominated are Best Film, Best Story, Best Performance In A Supporting Role (both Male and Female) and Best Music Direction. However, Rajkummar Rao's Newton can also give stiff competition to Tumhari Sulu, which holds the record for the second highest nominations, included a spot in the Best Film category.
