The plot and characters of 7 Dogs

The story revolves around an international crisis triggered by Pink Lady, a lethal, addictive narcotic spreading throughout the Middle East. Egyptian stars Ahmed Ezz plays Interpol agent Khalid Al-Azzazi, while Karim Abdel-Aziz can be seen as Ghali Abu Dawood, a high-ranking member of the syndicate known as 7 Dogs. After arresting Ghali, Khalid is forced to team up with him a year later to bring down the organization from within.

Salman Khan plays Johar, a cunning underworld syndicate chief. In one trailer conversation, his character taunts an adversary, saying, "You know what he does? He documents his whole life." In another moment, he quips to an associate, "Why do you look like a criminal to me?"
