The film focuses on the relationship between an Army dog and a soldier. “I had written the script some time back. It demanded some research as the story was about a well-trained dog belonging to the Army,” the director told Silverscreen.
“This is not just an animal adventure film. The story is based on the emotional bond shared between the hero, Ashok Selvan and the dog. The film will also have war sequences,” he added.
Kenanya Films, which has produced films like Thirudan Police, Oru Naal Koothu, Bruce Lee, Server Sundaram, and Dulquer Salman’s Vaan in the past, will be funding this film.
