The film stars Egyptian actors Karim Abdel-Aziz and Ahmed Ezz in the leading roles. It is produced by Turki Al-Sheikh, who is reportedly a close friend to Salman and Sanjay. The Indian actors had flown to Riyadh in February 2025 to film their scenes in three days.
Speaking about the film’s international collaboration and its India release, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah said “'7 Dogs' has always been a truly international film for us. Ahmed and Karim are the heart of the story, and they brought incredible energy to these characters. Around them, we had the opportunity to work with extraordinary performers from different parts of the world, including Monica, Giancarlo, Salman and Sanjay. That combination is what makes the film so special. We are thrilled that audiences in India will now get to experience 7 Dogs on the big screen.”
The plot of the movie reads, “‘7 Dogs’ revolves around an Interpol officer named Khalid Al-Azzazi who apprehends Ghali Abu Dawood, a high-ranking member of a clandestine global crime syndicate known as ‘7 Dogs.’ When a year later, the organisation resurfaces and begins trafficking a new drug called Pink Lady across the Middle East, Khalid must reluctantly join forces with Ghali, the only person with intimate knowledge of the syndicate’s operations."
