Sharad Kelkar, who stars alongside his real-life wife, Keerti Kelkar, spoke about how the film’s emotional depth resonated with him. “Working with Keerti was special, but what truly stayed with me was my bond with my on-screen daughter. It made me appreciate my own relationship with my daughter even more. And of course, working with dogs on set was pure joy—they have a way of filling every moment with love and warmth.”
The ensemble cast also includes Masumeh Makhija, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Tinu Anand, Ehan Bhat, and Tridha Chaudhary, each adding their own charm to the story.
Known for his critically acclaimed Gujarati film ‘Kutch Express’, which won him a National Award, Viral Shah brings his signature emotional depth and storytelling finesse to ‘Dil Dosti Aur Dogs’.
