Salman Khan has announced that the Arabic action thriller 7 Dogs will release in Indian theatres on August 21, 2026. The film, which hit the Middle East in May, features Salman and Sanjay Dutt in cameo roles. The lead cast includes Egyptian stars Karim Abdel-Aziz and Ahmed Ezz, along with international actors Monica Bellucci and Giancarlo Esposito. Directed by Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi, the plot follows an Interpol officer who teams up with a crime syndicate member to stop a drug trafficking network. The film’s teaser showed Salman in a pinstripe suit and Sanjay with a gun.


The hype around 7 Dogs is driven more by Salman Khan’s name than his actual screen time. Fans are calling it his ‘biggest mission’, but his role is a cameo, as is Sanjay Dutt’s. The film’s leads are Arab stars Karim Abdel-Aziz and Ahmed Ezz. The real test will be whether Indian audiences turn up for an Arabic action thriller just because two Bollywood faces appear for a few minutes.
