Hyderabad: The most-awaited Allu Cinemas, backed by actor Allu Arjun and the Allu family, is finally ready to start operations in Hyderabad. The premium multiplex in Kokapet is special for Hyderabad and movie lovers because it will house Asia’s largest Dolby Cinema screen, measuring 75 feet wide, and the second biggest Dolby Cinema screen in the world. With advanced projection and sound technology, the theatre promises to deliver one of the most immersive movie experiences ever seen in India.
The theatre has been developed under the guidance of producer Allu Aravind and marks a major milestone for the Allu family’s presence in the exhibition business.
Allu Cinemas Launch date and chief guest
The grand inauguration of Allu Cinemas will take place on March 12, 2026, with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy attending the event as the chief guest. Several members of the Allu family and celebrities from the film industry are expected to be present at the launch.
After the formal inauguration, the theatre will conduct technical test screenings to fine-tune its advanced projection and sound systems. These trials are expected to run until March 18.
The multiplex is likely to begin its public shows on Ugadi, March 19, with premiere screenings of the film Dhurandhar 2.
Hyderabad’s cinema culture enters a new phase
For decades, RTC Cross Roads was considered the main hub for film lovers in Hyderabad. Later, multiplexes such as Prasads Multiplex changed the viewing experience by introducing luxury screens and modern facilities.
In recent years, AMB Cinemas attracted huge crowds with its premium screens and VIP lounges. Now, industry observers believe that Allu Cinemas in Kokapet could become the next major destination for movie buffs in the city.
