Golden Kela nominations announced

Bollywood actors Neil Nitin Mukesh, Imran Khan and John Abraham have all been nominated for the third annual Golden Kela Awards.

The satirical event, a spinoff of the Razzies, is scheduled to take place next month in Mumbai, PTI reports.

Comedian Cyrus Broacha, the host of the ceremony, stated: "The Kelas are very important. Kelas were carefully selected as they are a symbol of energy. It is a fervent hope of the organisers to inject energy back into contemporary films."

In the category of 'Worst Actor', Mukesh has been selected for Lafangey Parindey, Khan for both I Hate Luv Storys and Break Ke Baad, and Abraham for Jhoota Hi Sahi.

Last year's winner Abhishek Bachchan surprised organisers by turning up to collect his award.

Aishwarya Rai is competing with Kareena Kapoor, Kajol, Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Pakhi Tyrewala and Kareena-Kajol for 'Worst Actress'.

Up for 'Worst Film' are Housefull, I Hate Luv Storys, Veer, My Name Is Khan, Tees Maar Khan, Aisha, Anjaana Anjaani and Action Replayy.

The Golden Kelas are scheduled to take place on March 12.
