From real-life hero to a reel-life hero

Kuvi, a female dog, first shot to fame after it helped the rescue team locate the body of two-year-old girl Dhanushka, a member of her owner’s family and beloved companion, following a massive landslip at Pettimudy in Idukki on August 6, 2020.

The canine, later adopted by Ajith Madhavan, a civil police officer, nowadays relaxes at its master’s house at Cherthala in Alappuzha, waiting for the release of the movie Najuss in which she will make her big screen debut as the protagonist.

The soon-to-be-released movie was written and directed by Sreejith Poyilkavu. The film centres on the story of a stray dog that arrives in a village in Malappuram, gradually winning the hearts of the residents, and the events that unfold. The shooting of the film has been completed.
