About 777 Charlie Movie:

• A labrador dog as Charlie played a titular role in 777 Charlie. The film follows the journey and bonding between a lonely factory worker and a stray labrador dog.
• In September 2017, Rakshit Shetty announced his next film under the production banner Paramvah Studios titled as 777 Charlie. Kiranraj K, who had assisted Rishab Shetty in Ricky and Kirik Party, was brought on board for the project, which marked his directorial debut.
• Shetty agreed to produce the film as the script was considered to be a “first-of-its-kind” in Kannada cinema.
• Kiranraj also revealed that some sequences in the film were inspired by his real-life incidents.
• Before the film’s production in June 2018, dog trainer BC Pramod trained three Labrador Retrievers to play the role of Charlie in the film for three weeks, as the bonding between the dog and the lead actor was to be real and convincing.
• Principal photography took place from June 2018 to October 2021, with delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The film was shot in various locations across Karnataka, Goa, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir.

The making of the film has been a very taxing deal on us, sure, but the whole team wishes that the audience gets to see the film on the big screen. We have our hopes pinned on the vaccination drive and the government’s approach in controlling the pandemic, thus the audience will be receptive to watching films in the theatres.” The film was also released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam languages.
