Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Hyderabad is set to get a second IMAX screen, with Aparna Cinemas planning a 12-screen multiplex at Wipro Circle in the IT corridor, according to TrackTollywood. The outlet reports that the multiplex will include an IMAX screen, adding to the city's existing AMB Victory IMAX at RTC X Roads. 123telugu.com reports that the new IMAX screen is expected to be established near the Financial District. The site notes that Hyderabad movie lovers had long been disappointed by the absence of an IMAX screen until Mahesh Babu and Asian Cinemas announced the AMB Classic IMAX. The addition of another IMAX screen, alongside premium formats like PXL and Dolby Cinema, is seen as a major boost for audiences. The timeline for the project has not been announced.
