MUMBAI: Keeping pace with evolving technologies, Balaji Telefilms will be releasing several of its films in Dolby Atmos, which is Dolby’s new surround sound technology.

The first movie to release in Dolby Atmos will be ‘Azhar’, which is cricketer Md. Azharuddin’s biopic.

We are very excited to collaborate with Dolby to deliver the next generation of entertainment experience to our fans with Azhar being first of the many movies to release in Dolby Atmos.”

Dolby Laboratories India and south east Asia senior regional director ANZ Pankaj Kedia added, “Dolby is excited to work with Balaji Motion Pictures, one of the leading production houses in the Indian cinema industry. With the range of upcoming Dolby Atmos titles, we are confident that cinematic storytelling will be taken to a new level.”
