Mr Bommai said the film reminded him of his pet dog Snooby, which died in July last year, just a few weeks before he became Chief Minister.</p>
<p>
Kannada movie 777 Charlie starring Rakshit Shetty depicts the deep bond between a man (actor Rakshit Shetty) and his pet dog Charlie</p>
<p>
A video clip shows the Chief Minister repeatedly wiping his tears as he talks to the media about the movie which has been released in five languages.</p>
<p>
"There have been movies about dogs but this movie shows animals with emotions. The dog expresses its emotions through its eyes. The movie is good, and everyone should watch it. I keep talking about unconditional love. A dog's love is unconditional love, which is pure.This cinema has brought forward purity of unconditional love through Shetty and the dog “ the chief minister told journalists.</p>
<p>
Earlier, a few months after Snooby's death, Mr Bommai had also broken down during an interview when visuals of the funeral were shown.</p>
<p>
The Karnataka police have also recently named their new sniffer dog Charlie after the movie.</p>
