Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt are set to take their collaboration to the international stage with '7 Dogs' - the action spectacle led by Egyptian superstars Ahmed Ezz and Karim Abdel Aziz.
The film, also starring acclaimed international actors Monica Bellucci and Giancarlo Esposito, will release in Hindi and English across Indian cinemas on August 21.
Announcing the film's India release date, Salman Khan also shared its trailer on his Instagram story.

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," as per a press release.
With Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt representing India, Ahmed Ezz and Karim Abdel Aziz leading from Egypt, Monica Bellucci bringing European star power, and 'Bad Boys' directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah at the helm, '7 Dogs' arrives in India on August 21.

Why is Salman Khan always in these action movies? We need some variety. But with Monica Bellucci and John Wick stunt designers, this might actually be worth watching. At least Sanjay Dutt will add some gravitas to the film.
As an Indian cinephile, I'm excited about this global collaboration. It's refreshing to see our actors working with international talent beyond just Hollywood. The Middle East is becoming a major hub for cinema, and it's great that Indian actors are part of this movement. 🎬
I honestly feel Salman Khan has been playing the same character for a decade now. Sanjay Dutt too. I wish they'd diversify their roles. But the ensemble cast sounds interesting, and the action pedigree is top-notch. Let's see if this breaks the monotony.
Salman and Sanjay together again! Reminds me of the good old days of the 90s. And with the Bad Boys directors, this could be a proper mass entertainer. August 21 can't come soon enough. 🔥
Loving this global representation! India, Egypt, Hollywood, Europe - what a melting pot. This is what cinema should be about. I just hope the story is as exciting as the cast list. Also, who else is excited to see Giancarlo Esposito on Indian screens? 🎥
