Director Sarov reveals the reason behind changing dialogues of his upcoming film Oh My Dog

A never seen before and never heard before casting is the USP of the Tamil film Oh My Dog. It has real-life grandfather-father-son trio Vijaykumar, Arun Vijay, and Arnav Vijay for the first time on-screen. In a fun chat, director Sarov Shanmugam shared his experience on the film, he also revealed that he had to correct many dialogues as guided by Vijaykumar.

“Vijaykumar is a perfectionist. Even a small word or even a little of negative he will say, ‘why a negative word in between.”. He always wants to spread love through his character. He was very conscious that nothing should go wrong with children. Under his guidance, I corrected many dialogues in the movie. For Arjun sir, we have toned down his performance as a father. He co-operated well. Arnav is a darling, he is a born actor. He will come to sets well-prepared, and his mom helped him a lot to byheart Tamil sentences. Nothing was troublesome but I always forget to say cut and they continue doing their thing,” reveals director Sarov Shanmugam.

He further explained about the casting as it has three generations,“Nothing was planned everything happened organically. The story is about a strong bond between grandchild and grandfather, that’s how the casting went about.”

"I had this story for a very long time. I wanted to make a film only for the kids, a heartwarming film. The moment I shared this idea, Suriya sir motivated me to go for it. It was him who suggested getting Arnav onboard," says Sarov.

Oh My Dog will stream on Amazon Prime Video from April 21
