SS Rajamouli unveils India’s first Dolby certified post-production facility at Nagarjuna’s Annapurna Studios

The facility aims to redefine the audio-visual standards of Indian filmmaking, with an intention to ensure cinematic experiences that meet global benchmarks

SS Rajamouli has unveiled India’s first Dolby certified postproduction facility for cinema & home at Nagarjuna’s Annapurna Studios. Nagarjuna, vice chairman 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 intention to ensure cinematic experiences that meet global benchmarks.

Interestingly, Rajamouli’s Academy-award-winning RRR—special footage of which was also played at the grand event—was the first-ever Indian film to release in Dolby Cinema, making this a landmark moment for the Indian film industry.

Speaking at the event, SS Rajamouli said, “During the time of RRR, when we wanted to grade the film in Dolby Vision, we had to travel all the way to Germany. It was a bit disheartening that I couldn’t experience my film in Dolby Vision within my own country. But today, I’m thrilled to see a Dolby Vision grading facility right here at Annapurna Studios.

“Even more exciting is the fact that, by the time my next film releases, there will be multiple Dolby Cinema across India. Watching a film in Dolby Vision is an entirely different experience—the crystal-clear clarity and the way it enhances the nuances of every frame take storytelling to a whole new level. I can’t wait for audiences to experience it,” Rajamouli added.

Nagarjuna noted how the studio continues to be at the forefront of innovation in Indian cinema. “From being a pioneer in virtual production to now housing the country’s first Dolby Certified Postproduction Facility for Cinema & Home, the attempt 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.”
