In just a few days, Raymond James stadium will be transformed into a grand center of celebration for the 15th annual International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA).

"This year we've gone completely digital and using technology as the most important element in this production," said IIFA director Viraf Sakari.

Production director Viraf Sakari said the stage will span more than 140 feet across the stadium and use thousands of LED panels to ensure the expected 20,000 guests all have the best view in the house.

"We're doing something very local, that's our opening act which is going to showcase our culture and the color of Tampa," said Sakari.

Crews will be working around the clock to put the last minute touches on the larger than life stage.
