Hyderabad is known as the cinema capital of South India because of its long connection with Tollywood.
The city has many famous single-screen theaters and top-quality multiplexes that offer a great movie-watching experience.
But one thing is still missing — a large format IMAX screen.
Movie lovers have been eagerly waiting for an IMAX in the city for a long time. For the past year, the excitement has been growing with major figures in the industry, like director SS Rajamouli and producer Sunil Narang, suggesting that the wait might be ending soon.
The latest news shows that the hopes of movie fans could soon become reality.
Sunil Narang, who leads the ASIAN Cinemas Group, has once again said that the announcement about Hyderabad's IMAX screen will come in the next few days. This has created a lot of excitement among audiences and industry people.
Last year, Sunil Narang made a similar announcement about IMAX Group working with ASIAN Cinemas to bring an IMAX screen to Hyderabad.
However, the head of IMAX Corporation India denied any such partnership, which left Tollywood disappointed.
His latest statement about IMAX has once again sparked a lot of buzz.
Everyone is hoping that this time, it will actually happen. Telugu moviegoers are not ready for another letdown like last year.
Two decades ago, Hyderabad had an IMAX screen at Prasads Screens.
However, the original IMAX 70mm projector was taken out in 2014. Over the years, cinema has changed a lot with new technologies. Movie fans have enjoyed various premium formats that make the viewing experience better.
But they are still looking for an IMAX screen that will offer a special and complete experience when watching big-budget films like *Varanasi*, *Raaka*, and *Kalki 2*, which are being made as visual spectacles with huge budgets.
