If you have loved watching Batman and Spiderman on IMAX, get ready to see Bollywood's superstar Khans in action on the same gigantic screen by next year.

IMAX, the technology that makes movie-watching a larger-than-life experience, is set to tap into the Bollywood and South Indian film market.

'The film-viewing experience can be elevated only when the audience has sufficient theatres and great content.

'We plan to leave the Indian audience mesmerised and change their film-viewing habits with IMAX,' says Greg Foster, chairman and president, Filmed Entertainment, IMAX Corporation.
