Naga Chaitanya’s Film Sparks Big-Screen Buzz Across ap & TS
The upcoming naga chaitanya starrer “Varanasi” has suddenly turned the spotlight on a surprising question:
Will this film finally bring IMAX screens to the Telugu-speaking states?
While IMAX is a global standard for premium movie-watching, many telugu fans have long been disappointed by the lack of IMAX theatres in andhra pradesh and Telangana—especially compared to cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad’s past IMAX legacy.
Now, with Varanasi being planned as a visually grand, large-format cinematic experience, industry insiders believe the film might trigger the revival or expansion of IMAX screens in both telugu states.
1. Varanasi Made for a Big-Screen Experience
According to reports from the film unit, Varanasi is being shot with:
· High-end cinematic cameras,
· Wide aerial shots,
· Massive set pieces,
· And spectacular action sequences.
The team is said to be planning visuals that look best in IMAX, suggesting that the filmmakers want the audience to experience its grandeur in the most immersive format possible.
2. Why IMAX Matters for telugu Cinema
While the telugu film industry has grown enormously—both in pan-India reach and global impact—the lack of IMAX screens has been a long-standing gap.
IMAX brings:
· Huge 70mm displays
· Higher resolution than standard theatres
· Thunderous audio clarity
· A “you are inside the movie” feel
For large-scale films like Baahubali, Saaho, Pushpa, and now Varanasi, IMAX would significantly elevate the cinematic impact.
3. hyderabad Once Had IMAX—Can It Return?
Older fans remember when Hyderabad’s Prasads IMAX was the biggest attraction in South India. But after license changes, it no longer operates as a true IMAX screen.
The audience has been waiting ever since for:
· a comeback of IMAX technology,
· new IMAX theatres,
· or updated premium screens like IMAX Laser.
If a big film like Varanasi aims for IMAX mastering, theatre chains may finally consider reopening or rebuilding IMAX formats in the cities.
4. Theatre Chains Interested? Talks Reportedly On
Industry buzz suggests that two major multiplex chains are evaluating:
· New IMAX installations in Hyderabad
· A possible IMAX debut in vijayawada or Visakhapatnam
If Varanasi demands a pure IMAX release, this could accelerate negotiations.
Multiplex operators know that:
“Premium formats = premium revenue.”
With telugu cinema rising globally, adding IMAX screens is now seen as a strategic upgrade, not a luxury.
5. Can Varanasi Become a Trendsetter?
If Varanasi indeed pushes for IMAX mastering, it would be one of the first telugu films after RRR to emphasize the need for IMAX-level visual ambition.
This move can:
✔️ Create new demand for big-screen formats
✔️ Revive the premium theatre culture
✔️ Encourage more telugu directors to shoot for IMAX
✔️ Bring global audiences closer to telugu films
A single blockbuster has the power to reshape the theatre landscape—and Varanasi might be that film.
6. Fans Hopeful: “Bring Back the IMAX Magic!”
On social media, telugu cinephiles are already expressing excitement:
· “If varanasi comes in IMAX, that’s a dream come true!”
· “Hyderabad deserves IMAX back!”
· “Chay’s film might revive big-screen culture.”
The buzz clearly shows that audiences want the IMAX experience restored.
7. Conclusion: A Film That Might Change the Theatre Map
While there is no official confirmation yet, the possibility of Varanasi pushing IMAX into telugu states is both exciting and realistic.
If the film is completed with IMAX-friendly visuals and if theatre chains respond positively, this could mark the comeback of IMAX glory in both andhra pradesh and Telangana.
For now, Varanasi isn’t just a film—it might become a game-changer for telugu theatre infrastructure.
