The 2025 Filmfare Awards will see Shah Rukh Khan back as the host after 17 long years. The superstar will share the stage with Maniesh Paul and Karan Johar, the organisers announced on Tuesday.

The big night will take place on October 11 at EKA Arena, Ahmedabad, marking the first time the Filmfare Awards will be held in Gujarat.

Filmfare shared the news on Instagram, writing: “The Superstar, The Icon, The Enigma… Shah Rukh Khan is co-hosting the most awaited 70th Hyundai Filmfare Awards 2025 with Gujarat Tourism.”
