The grand inauguration of Allu Cinemas (AAA Cinemas) in Kokapet, Hyderabad, turned into a memorable and prestigious event. The multiplex, built with state-of-the-art technology and world-class facilities, marks a significant milestone for the Allu family and the Telugu film industry.
During the event, Icon Star Allu Arjun delivered an emotional speech that not only touched the hearts of fans but also highlighted the visionary leadership of his father, noted producer Allu Aravind. Addressing Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy affectionately as “Revanth Anna,” Allu Arjun expressed gratitude for understanding their passion and supporting the project.
Speaking about his father, Allu Arjun became emotional and said that Aravind is not just a producer but someone he deeply reveres. He explained that the construction of the multiplex was not merely a business venture but a passionate effort to give something meaningful back to the film industry that had given their family immense respect and recognition. According to him, the creation of Allu Cinemas is driven more by love for cinema than by commercial real-estate interests.
Allu Arjun also described his father as a “technology pioneer” in the Telugu film industry and shared several interesting insights about his contributions. He recalled that when the industry was still familiar only with stereo sound, Aravind introduced 5.1 surround sound through the film Master, setting a new benchmark in cinematic technology.
He further noted that Aravind had the foresight to recognize the global shift toward digital projection even when films were still widely screened using traditional film reels. Aravind played a key role in helping theatres across the Telugu states transition to digital systems, which is why Allu Arjun said he could easily be called the “Father of the Digital Era” in the Telugu film industry.
Allu Arjun also praised his father’s vision in launching Aha, the first dedicated regional OTT platform for Telugu audiences. Through this platform, Aravind expanded entertainment beyond theatres and brought new opportunities for digital content.
Continuing that technological vision, the newly opened Allu Cinemas features one of the largest Dolby Vision screens in Asia, bringing a premium cinematic experience to Hyderabad and setting a new benchmark for theatres in the region.
In his concluding remarks, Allu Arjun promised to carry forward the legacy created by his father with pride. He also thanked Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Mallikarjun Bhatti Vikramarka, and Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy for supporting their vision.
Allu Arjun ended his speech by expressing his ambition to help place Hyderabad firmly on the global entertainment map through world-class cinematic experiences like Allu Cinemas.
