The much-touted Rs 36 crore Prasads IMax Theatre, claimed to be world's largest 3D screening facility, is tentatively scheduled to be opened on June 27.
The theatre had its screen-raising ceremony today, an important event in the construction of the facility that is coming up at the NTR Gardens here.
The theatre now needs just a few finishing touches before being opened for the general public. Prasads is the third Imax theatre in the country after Delhi and Mumbai. It is the first in South India.
