The film is slated to be shot as an international coproduction with partners and cast still to be confirmed. It is targeted at the family audience.
Speaking exclusively to FNE Pejo said: "The story appealed to me because you have a loser man and a loser dog who together find a way to make life meaningful. There will also be some animation scenes in the film. The story will be like a fairy tale, a legend."
