7 Dogs Directors Say Working With Salman Khan Was Like “Going To Film School”

Salman Khan may have been the star on the sets of 7 Dogs, but for directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, working with him was almost like getting a masterclass in filmmaking.The Moroccan-Belgian directing duo, known for Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die, have opened up about their experience working with Salman on the Saudi Arabian action spectacle.

Salman Became Their Film School

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah described working with Salman as being similar to “going to film school”.They were particularly impressed by the actor’s instinctive understanding of cinema and his ability to make even short moments on screen memorable.

They Were Impressed By His Screen Instincts

According to the directors, Salman has an innate sense of what works on camera.His experience and understanding of audience expectations helped the filmmakers while putting together the international action project.

7 Dogs Has A Global Cast

The film is headlined by Egyptian actors Ahmed Ezz and Karim Abdel Aziz, who play an Interpol officer and a criminal figure forced to work together against a powerful transnational criminal network.Salman is part of the international ensemble, adding a major Indian star to the Saudi-backed project.

The Directors Know Action

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah have already built a reputation for large-scale action through films including Bad Boys for Life and Bad Boys: Ride or Die.Their collaboration with Salman gives 7 Dogs another layer of action-film credibility.

Bollywood Meets Global Action

The project is another example of Indian stars becoming part of international productions, with Salman bringing his massive global fan base into a Saudi Arabian action film.For the directors, though, the biggest takeaway seems to have been the chance to learn from one of India’s biggest stars.

KnowBuddys Take

Imagine directing an international action film and getting a surprise masterclass from Salman Khan along the way. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah clearly walked away impressed, and if Salman’s “instincts” made it onto the screen, 7 Dogs could be an interesting watch.
