According to recent statements from Suniel Narang, an official announcement regarding IMAX in Hyderabad could arrive within the next four to five days.
The update has reignited excitement among movie lovers who have been demanding the return of IMAX screens ever since Prasads Multiplex discontinued its IMAX format in 2014.
Sudarshan 70MM Could Become New IMAX Hub
Reports suggest the Hyderabad IMAX return may happen at the iconic Sudarshan 70MM theatre located at RTC X Roads.
The historic theatre is currently undergoing redevelopment and is expected to reopen as the AMB Classic multiplex around mid-2026.
Industry sources indicate the new multiplex could feature:
- IMAX technology

- Advanced sound systems
- Luxury seating experiences
Some reports even claim the venue may house one of the world’s largest cinema screens.
Fans Waited Nearly A Decade
The Hyderabad IMAX return has become an emotional topic for film enthusiasts in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
After Prasads removed its IMAX system in 2014, many movie fans travelled to cities like Bengaluru and Chennai to experience major Hollywood and pan-Indian blockbusters in premium formats.
The absence of IMAX in Hyderabad remained one of the biggest complaints among cinema audiences despite the city’s strong movie culture.
Suniel Narang Hints At Major Update
During an interview with Gulte, Suniel Narang confirmed that an official announcement linked to the Hyderabad IMAX return is expected very soon.
His comments quickly went viral across social media platforms, with fans expressing excitement and cautious optimism.
Previous reports regarding IMAX revival plans in Hyderabad did not materialise, which is why some moviegoers are waiting for official confirmation before celebrating fully.
AMB Classic Project Gains Attention
The redevelopment of Sudarshan 70MM into AMB Classic has already become one of the most talked-about cinema infrastructure projects in Hyderabad.
The possible Hyderabad IMAX return through this project is expected to significantly boost the city’s entertainment landscape.
Industry experts believe Hyderabad has a massive audience base capable of supporting premium large-format cinema experiences.
Big Boost For Telugu Cinema Fans
The Hyderabad IMAX return could become a major advantage for Telugu cinema, especially with increasing numbers of large-scale pan-Indian releases.
Directors and producers are now designing films specifically for premium formats like IMAX and Dolby Cinema.
Fans believe future releases starring major Telugu actors could receive a huge theatrical boost if Hyderabad regains a full-fledged IMAX experience.
Social Media Buzz Intensifies
The possibility of the Hyderabad IMAX return has already triggered massive discussions online.
Movie lovers have flooded social media with nostalgic posts about Prasads IMAX while expressing hope that Hyderabad will soon reclaim its place among India’s top premium cinema destinations.
With an official announcement expected within days, excitement continues to grow rapidly across the Telugu states.
