The film is sponsored by the Saudi General Entertainment Authority and was shot entirely in Riyadh.
The pic will be the first film to be shot in Big Time Al-Husn Studios, one of MENA region's biggest film and television production facilities, with additional shooting at Riyadh Boulevard.
Riyadh will serve as a stand-in for multiple international cities, including Mumbai and Shanghai.
The film is considered to be the largest Arab film production to date with a budget exceeding $40 million.
The $40M project is being hailed as a gamechanger for Saudi Arabia as it continues its drive to become the Middle East and North Africa's biggest film and TV hub.
It is produced by Jeddah-based entertainment company Sela, with Ivan Atkinson (The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man) lead producing.
"The Seven Dogs" marks the fourth collaboration between Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Ezz after blockbuster films "Welad Rizk 3: El Qadya" and "Kira & El Gin" and season 2 of the critically acclaimed TV series 'El Ekhteyar ll'.
In the film, Ezz plays Interpol officer Khalid Al-Azzazi, who apprehends Ghali Abu Dawood (Aziz), a high-ranking member of the clandestine global crime syndicate known as 7 Dogs.
A year later, the organization resurfaces, trafficking a dangerous new drug—Pink Lady—across the Middle East.
With time running out, Khalid reluctantly join forces with Ghali, the only person with intimate knowledge of the syndicate's operations. Their uneasy alliance propels them on a high-stakes mission across multiple global cities as they strive to dismantle the organization and prevent the drug from flooding Arab streets. Amid escalating tensions and looming.
"The Seven Dogs" is slated for a late 2025 release.
