The film, whose screenplay recently made it to the Oscar library, will be showcased in the non-competition section of the film festival in Morocco.
"We are very happy to screen 'HNY' at the Marrakech International Film Festival. It will be one the highlight of the festival. Shah Rukh Khan has a special relationship with the Marrakech Film Festival and Morocco," Melita Toscan du Plantier, Festival Director, said in a statement.
"He came for a Tribute in 2011 and for the Centenary of Indian Cinema in 2012. He was also decorated by HRH Prince Moulay Rachid on behalf of His Majesty King Mohammed VI," Melito added.
Director Farah Khan and actors Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani will represent the film at the festival and will also attend the official royal dinner hosted by the President of the Festival Foundation, His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid.
"I'm delighted that 'HNY' is being showcased in Marrakech. It has become a festival of repute and it is an honour to take our film there," Farah said in a statement.
'Happy New Year', which also stars Deepika Padukone, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah, hit theatres on October 24.
