Over the years, veteran superstar Shatrughan Sinha has earned immense fame for his iconic performances cementing his status as one of the legendary actors of our time.

Shotgun's impressive track record boasts of a series of blockbuster hits. Having fearlessly essayed both positive and negative characters onscreen, the superstar is best remembered for his unconventional yet highly intense and passionate monologues and unique style of dialogue delivery which continues to strike a chord with audiences even today, especially when he says "Khamosh!"
 
Speaking on the award, Shatrughan Sinha said, "It has truly been a long but fulfilling journey in the movie business and I thank IIFA for commemorating my eventful career with this prestigious award. The honour not only humbles me, but makes me feel loved by a country where cinema is the ultimate equalizer of the masses."
 
In previous years, IIFA has acknowledged many Indian cinema legends including the late Director-Producer Yash Chopra, lyricist Javed Akhtar, filmmaker Ramesh Sippy and songstress, Asha Bhosle among others. 

IIFA will felicitate Shotgun in Tampa Bay, Florida this year.

The 15th IIFA Weekend and Awards will be held from the 23rd to the 26th of April.
