great fit for a feature-length movie — it’s something we planned for from day one,” says Shalin

Comic Con India believes in us enough to help us make history. It’s not every day that the
biggest pop culture platform in the country takes notice and we hope you enjoy the adventures
of Dotson and friends.”
“We’re excited and proud to see Detective Dotson premiere at Hyderabad Comic Con,” says
Jatin Varma, Founder, Comic Con India. “Comic Con India is committed to bringing unique and
diverse experiences to our fans and this is the first time a video game to movie adaptation
caught our eye. Hopefully we see more such passion projects from the Indian games industry.”
