To rehabilitate former Tamil Tigers child soldiers, a charity match will be played between Sri Lankan selectors and Indian celebrities. Money that would collect through this humanity project will be used to re-establish, re-educated and rehabilitated the child soldiers.

Kumar Sangakkara appreciated it and said, “It will be lot of fun and lot of entertainment. It is also a very touching humanitarian cause as a village for 100 families will be built. It is a great initiative”.

Bollywood has international appeal around the world. In Sri Lanka, it has huge popularity. It is true that IIFA has become a great source of entertainment for Sri Lankan people. If super stars boycott this event then it will make negative impact about Sri Lanka around the world.
