Last Updated:
Spanning 4,000 square metres, this aquarium will lets guests feel like they're inside the ocean, surrounded by sharks, coral fish, and other marine life.
While India already boasts several tunnel-style aquariums, this Indian city is gearing up to unveil the country's largest yet – a sprawling, 4,000-square-metre immersive marine experience that promises to let visitors explore marine life like never before.
Hyderabad's Nehru Zoological Park is all set to get a Rs 50 crore state-of-the-art aquarium that will feature a stunning tunnel-style walk-through experience, promising visitors a surreal experience of strolling beneath a dome of swimming marine life.
Once approved by the Central Zoo Authority, the project is expected to be completed by 2026 under a public-private partnership. As reported by The Times of India, this aquarium is envisioned as a 'living classroom" with thematic zones mimicking rivers, lakes, coral reefs, and deep-sea biomes. Visitors can expect digital guides, AR experiences, and curated tours, all meant to educate students and promote conservation. Species from Asia, Africa, and the Americas – including Amazonian arowanas, African cichlids, and rare deep-sea creatures – will be a part of this aquarium.
Hyderabad is fast emerging as one of India's most sought-after cities, seamlessly blending heritage with innovation. With a booming tech industry hosting global giants like Amazon and Microsoft, robust infrastructure upgrades, and thriving sectors like biotech, pharma, and startups, the city is positioning itself as a major economic and innovation hub with a cosmopolitan crowd. Affordable living, high-quality education, sustainable development, and a rich cultural fabric have made Hyderabad a dynamic urban powerhouse that's redefining modern Indian growth.

Aamir Khan recalls nearly collaborating with Mani Ratnam on an adaptation of Ismat Chughtai's short story: ‘I still hope that one day…'
Despite being two of the most celebrated figures in contemporary Indian cinema and sharing a warm bond, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam have never collaborated to date. Although they have met on numerous occasions and even discussed potential projects, things never quite materialised as they had hoped. Recently, Aamir opened up about a time they nearly worked together, having zeroed in on a story, but the project fell through at the last moment. In a recent interview, he revealed that they were keen on adapting legendary Indian Urdu writer Ismat Chughtai's short story Gharwali (The Homewife) into a film centred around its protagonist, Lajjo. 'I have always been a huge fan of Mani Ratnam and always wanted to work with him. I've met him many times as well. I've been to his house, and we've had wonderful conversations. Both of us have wanted to work with each other. We almost worked together in Lajjo. But that didn't work out for three reasons; it had nothing to do with him or me,' he shared during a chat with Galatta Plus. Praising Mani Ratnam, Aamir added, 'I'm a very big admirer of his work. I still hope that one day, he and I will work together.' Also Read | Aamir Khan calls Sitaare Zameen Par's release 'ill-timed', expresses concern about its box office performance: 'I'm stressed only action films are working' After a three-year hiatus, Aamir Khan is all set to make his grand comeback to cinema through director RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par. A spiritual successor to the actor's Taare Zameen Par, which also marked his directorial debut, Sitaare Zameen Par is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. It also features Genelia Deshmukh, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Naman Misra and Rishi Shahani in key roles. Aamir was last seen in director Advait Chandan's critical and commercial failure Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), a remake of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump. Mani Ratnam is currently facing significant backlash following the release of his latest film, the Kamal Haasan-starrer Thug Life, which opened to negative responses from the audience. Also starring Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan and Abhirami, the movie marked Mani and Kamal's first movie collaboration in 37 years since Nayakan (1987).
