Wild Dog, which is produced by Niranjan Reddy and Anvesh Reddy under Matinee Entertainment, has been shot in several locations in India, including Mumbai, Hyderabad, Rohtang Pass and Manali. “The reason for choosing real locations was to lend authenticity to the story. Even the sound mixing and designing was carefully done, complete with Dolby Atmos sound to lend an immersive experience,” adds co-producer NM Pasha.
