About 777 Charlie Movie
777 Charlie is a Kannada adventure drama film written and directed by Kiranraj K. and produced by Paramvah Studios. The film stars Charlie, a Labrador dog, in the title role, alongside Rakshit Shetty, Sangeetha Sringeri, Raj B. Shetty, Danish Sait, Bobby Simha, and Aniruddh Roy.
The film was announced in September 2017, with Kiranraj K. making his directorial debut. Inspired by real-life incidents, the script was considered unique in Kannada cinema. Dog trainer BC Pramod trained three Labrador Retrievers for the role of Charlie to ensure an authentic bond between the dog and the lead actor. Originally, Aravinnd Iyer was cast as the lead, but due to scheduling conflicts, Rakshit Shetty replaced him.
Principal photography began on June 8, 2018, in Mangalore, followed by shoots in Sakleshpur, Mysore, Bangalore, Dandeli, and various North Indian locations, including Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Kashmir. Filming spanned 164 days, with a six-month break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It wrapped up on October 25, 2021.
The film features music by Nobin Paul, cinematography by Aravind Kashyap, and editing by Pratheek Shetty. Post-production began in January 2021, with extensive dubbing for multiple languages to ensure a natural feel in each version. The film was planned for a pan-India theatrical release.
After the release of 777 Charlie, the demand for Labradors reportedly increased. However, experts and animal activists cautioned against impulsive pet adoption driven by temporary emotions, as it could lead to unethical breeding—an issue highlighted in the movie itself. In recognition of the film’s impact, a sniffer dog inducted into the Mangalore police department was named Charlie.
