Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt's 7 Dogs to release in India on August 21; starring Egyptian actors Karim Abdel-Aziz and Ahmed Ezz

Indian audiences will soon see a new international action thriller, "7 Dogs," which is set to hit theatres across the country on August 21. The film, already screened in the Middle East, brings together Bollywood heavyweights Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt in a high‑stakes storyline that blends crime, drug trafficking, and relentless chase sequences.

Directed by the duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the Saudi Arabian‑produced feature stars Egyptian actors Karim Abdel‑Aziz and Ahmed Ezz in the leading roles. The plot centers on a crime syndicate known as the ‘7 Dogs’ and their new drug, Pink Lady. Interpol officer Khalid Al‑Azzazi, played by Abdel‑Aziz, arrests senior syndicate member Ghali Abu Dawood, portrayed by Ezz. A year later, the syndicate resurfaces, and Khalid must ally with Ghali to stop the drug’s spread across the Middle East.

Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt’s cameo appearances have already drawn attention. In one scene, Salman, dressed in a white suit, remarks, “You know what he does? He documents his whole life.” In another, he asks, “Why do you look like a criminal to me?” Sanjay is seen walking with a group of men while holding a gadget. The pair first shared the screen in the early 1990s with films such as "Saajan" (1991), "Chal Mere Bhai" (2000) and "Yeh Hai Jalwa" (2002), and they reunited in 2025 for AP Dhillon’s track "Old Money."

The film’s release in India marks the latest on‑screen reunion for the duo, promising a wider audience for their collaboration. With its blend of international locations, gritty action, and star power, "7 Dogs" aims to be a blockbuster hit for the August 21 opening.
