Quotes
Shefali Johnson
CEO of Comic Con India
“Visakhapatnam has a strong connection with Telugu cinema, but its fandom culture is now expanding beyond films. With growing anime, cosplay and student communities, Vizag is emerging as a vibrant pop culture hub. We are excited to begin another chapter of Comic Con India, and this time, we wanted to start the season in Vizag, a city where fandom culture is steadily growing.”

“We’ve always believed that pop culture should be accessible to fans wherever they are, and bringing Comic Con to new cities is a natural extension of that vision. The incredible response we saw last season reinforced our belief that fandom is thriving well beyond the traditional metros. Vizag felt like the perfect place to begin our 2026–27 journey.”
