Shooting with a dog in Pavi Caretaker
He asserted that, although it may appear enjoyable to the audience, working behind the scenes with a dog in a movie is difficult. Most of the time, everything is just pure luck. We have no way to make these animals comprehend the story or the scenes, just like humans can," he continued. Dileep continued by stating that there were sequences in CID Moosa that worked well in a single take. It was entirely by God's grace. During the filming, we occasionally even had to change Ringmaster's script to better suit the needs of the dogs acting in it, he said.
