Asian Cinemas and Mahesh Babu came together a few years ago to launch AMB Cinemas, a multiplex that became a huge success and the top choice for movie lovers in Hyderabad. This successful partnership is now expanding further, with new projects planned in Bengaluru, the launch of AMB Classic at X Roads, and another multiplex coming up at Hakimpet in Hyderabad.
Earlier, Asian Suniel had officially announced that an IMAX screen would be coming to Hyderabad at the Hakimpet location. This news made audiences very excited. However, IMAX later clarified that there was no official agreement in place for an IMAX screen in Hyderabad, which disappointed many moviegoers.
AMB Cinemas Hakimpet: Will it Feature an IMAX Screen?
According to recent reports, construction had not started at the time of the announcement, and the team had not yet approached IMAX formally. The IMAX plan is still in the early stages, but the intention to bring IMAX to Hyderabad remains strong from Asian Cinemas and Mahesh Babu. As per the latest buzz, the IMAX screen is expected to open by mid-2027 if everything goes according to plan.
If this becomes a reality, it will be a dream come true for audiences in Hyderabad. Adding to the excitement, Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film Varanasi is said to be the first Indian film shot in the IMAX format, and fans are eagerly waiting to watch it on an IMAX screen.
