Starring Rakshit Shetty in the role of a disillusioned, lonely bachelor, and a starry-eyed Indie pup, Charlie, the film explores how the energetic puppy, with his ways as a troublemaker, offers Rakshit Shetty’s character Dharma, a new perspective to life. Aimed at tugging at the heart-strings by showcasing the relationship between the dog and his human, the film is expected to portray how Dharma finds meaning to a lonely existence.
Interestingly, the film also stars Sandalwood’s “Humble Politician” Danish Sait in a supporting role. The TV presenter and comedian who became an Instagram sensation after his play-acting comedy series took on the everyday lives of Bengalureans stuck at home during the lockdown. In July this year, director Kiranraj had revealed that Danish would play a role he has “never done before” and that it would be a crucial one in the film.
“I owe my career in films to Rakshit Shetty. If he hadn’t produced my first film, Humble Politician Nograj wouldn’t have happened. I had to do this for him. He is my brother and I can never say no to him. I am glad I got 777 Charlie,” Danish Sait had told TNIE after his role in the film was announced.
Tamil actor Bobby Simha is making his Sandalwood debut in 777 Charlie with a cameo. The film also has actors Sangeetha Sringeri and Raj B Shetty of Ondu Motteya Kathe fame and is expected to be Rakshit Shetty’s next big release.
