The film is considered to be the largest Arab film production to date with a budget exceeding $40 million.

The $40M project is being hailed as a gamechanger for Saudi Arabia as it continues its drive to become the Middle East and North Africa’s biggest film and TV hub.

Their uneasy alliance propels them on a high-stakes mission across multiple global cities as they strive to dismantle the organization and prevent the drug from flooding Arab streets.

"The Seven Dogs" is slated for a late 2025 release.
