Slum Dog Husband is directed by debutant AR Sreedhar who earlier assisted filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma in two films and worked with director Puri Jagannadh for seven years.
“One day, I was thinking about Puri Jagannadh’s love for dogs. And thus, the idea for Slum Dog Husband germinated. It is a satirical movie with emotions,” AR Sreedhar told South First.
When asked why he picked a dog, Sreedhar replied, “Even former Miss World Aishwarya Rai had to give in to sentiments and marry a tree before getting hitched to Abhishek Bachchan.
About the dog, AR Sreedhar recalled, “It is a trained dog from Commando Kennels in Medchal. Despite the training, it would run here and there on the sets.
Bheems Cecilio scored the music for the film. The retro song “Hey mera chota dil lutgaya monika..” and the “Lacchi gani pelli..” song are being widely appreciated.
