Mumbai: Bollywood’s hit thriller Raazi won the top prizes at the 20th edition of International Indian Film Academy Awards (Iifa) 2019 including Best Actress for Alia Bhatt and Best Picture, while actor Ranveer Singh took home the Best Actor award for his evil emperor role in Padmaavat.
The actors were honoured at a glittering ceremony in Mumbai that went past midnight on Wednesday at Dome in Mumbai.
