Tutti Frutti: Silver screen tribute to war dogs begins pre-production

Hyderabad: Animal lovers and war movie buffs, you are in for a treat. Prepare for an emotionally packed movie experience as a film about ‘dog warriors’ will be hitting the big screen.

The makers of the Hindi movie Tutti Frutti — an on-screen display of extraordinary camaraderie and heroism between soldiers and their devoted canine companions — announced on Friday that pre-production of the movie will begin soon.

This gripping story, based on actual events, will take viewers on a thrilling journey commemorating the extraordinary collaboration between fighters on two and four legs.

The film’s producers announced the movie in August, which is International Dogs’ Month. The movie will be financed by Vivek Rangachari and Faraz Ahsan.

The film promises to construct an extraordinary story anchored in the history pages of combat zones where four-legged warriors played vital roles. It aims to honour military dogs, the unsung heroes of the battlefield and is based on the actual story of a canines’ partnership across several critical missions.

Based on real war heroes

Tutti Frutti is inspired by the actual story of a canine team who assisted troops in apprehending a terrorist. The movie aims to tackle the issue of combat dogs and their vital contribution to the armed services, with the slogan ‘A homage to the Unsung Heroes.’

Rangachari — an executive producer on films such as Bala and The Lunchbox — recently unveiled the project in cooperation with producer Farah Ahsan. Deepak Kingrani, who previously worked on famous films such as Special Ops and Manoj Bajpayee’s Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, wrote Tutti Frutti. Details about the film’s cast and director are yet to be announced.

“Deepak has written a lovely, inspiring story, and we are excited to begin production with a strong team in place,” said the producers.
