According to a source, Kapoor is being roped in to anchor the 13th edition of IIFA, to be held in Singapore from June 7-9.
Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are also likely to host certain segments of the ceremony. Both actors are in the run for the best actor in a leading role award for their performances in Don 2: The King Is Back and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, respectively.
The three-day event will see a host of Indian celebrities. It will feature fashion shows and a musical extravaganza, with all celebrations culminating in a glittering awards presentation ceremony.
IIFA officials declined to confirm or deny the rumours when tabloid! got in touch with them, saying they would reveal names later.
