'Oh My Dog' released on Amazon Prime Video on 21st April 2022. It has received a mixed response from critics and audiences alike. While some have appreciated this new move in Tamil cinema, others have called the film very 'generic'.
Film director Sarov Shanmugam also made his debut as a director with ‘Oh My God’. The film has also been in the limelight because of its portrayal of three generations of men from the same family. Vijaykumar, Arun Vijay, and Arnav Vijay as grandfather-son-grandson in the film.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, director Sarov commented on how the casting for the three generations happened: “Nothing was planned, everything happened organically. The story is about a strong bond between grandchild and grandfather, that's how the casting went about."
"I had this story for a very long time. I wanted to make a film only for the kids, a heartwarming film. The moment I shared this idea, Suriya sir motivated me to go for it. It was him who suggested getting Arnav onboard,” he added
