Filmfare Awards 2016: Will Bajirao Mastani lead?

It does not come as a surprise that renowned comedian, Kapil Sharma and superstar filmmaker Karan Johar, will be co-hosting the show for the second time.

It is that time of the year again when everyone from the film fraternity will be seen vying for the 'Black Lady'.

It does not come as a surprise that renowned comedian, Kapil Sharma and superstar filmmaker, Karan Johar, will be co-hosting the show for the second time, but whether megastar Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan will be co-hosting along with them - is a question that's still up in the air.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's, Bajirao Mastani, which graced the movie theatres towards the absolute end of the year 2015, has made a mark by scoring nominations in eight categories. Badlapur has been nominated in six categories and Bajrangi Bhaijan has received three nominations.

Bajirao Mastani's lead actor Ranveer Singh also happened to share the Best Actor award (Male) with Amitabh Bachchan at the Screen Awards 2016 in Mumbai.

Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who won the Filmfare Award for best debutant in 2011 for the Salman Khan-starrer "Dabangg", says she has to work hard to win the Black Lady in the best actress category.

Other fabulous and extremely entertaining stars like Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kriti Sanon, and of course Ranveer Singh are expected to enthrall the audiences with their unmissable performances.

Shahid Kapoor won the Filmfare award for Best Actor (Male) for his performance in the film "Haider", while Kangna Ranaut received the Best Actor (Female) award for "Queen", at the Britannia Filmfare Awards ceremony, last year.
