SS Rajamouli has unveiled India’s first Dolby certified postproduction facility for cinema and home at Nagarjuna’s Annapurna Studios. Nagarjuna, vice president of Annapurna Studios, was also present at the event.
Launched in collaboration with Dolby, the facility aims to redefine the audio-visual standards of Indian filmmaking, with an aim to ensure cinematic experiences that meet global standards.
Interestingly, Rajamouli’s Academy-Award-winning RRR-whose exclusive footage was also shown at the grand event-was the first Indian film to be released in Dolby Cinema, making it a historic moment for the Indian film industry.
Speaking at the event, SS Rajamouli said, “During the time RRRWhen we wanted to grade the film in Dolby Vision, we had to travel all the way to Germany. It was a bit disappointing that I couldn’t experience my movie in Dolby Vision in my own country. But today, I am thrilled to see the Dolby Vision grading facility right here at Annapurna Studios.
“What’s even more exciting is the fact that, by the time my next film releases, there will be multiple Dolby cinemas across India. Watching a movie in Dolby Vision is an entirely different experience – the crystal-clear clarity and the way it enhances the nuances of every frame takes storytelling to a whole new level. Rajamouli said, I can’t wait for the audience to experience it.

Nagarjuna explains how the studio continues to be at the forefront of innovation in Indian cinema. “From being a pioneer in virtual production to now having the country’s first Dolby Certified postproduction facility for Cinema and Home, the endeavor has always been to put Indian films on the map. As Annapurna Studios celebrates its 50th year, this collaboration with Dolby is a testament to that vision.
