All about Dileep's character in Pavi Caretaker

In this interview, the Bandra actor provided a synopsis of his movie character, Pavithran, also known as Pavi. He mentioned that after working for more than eighteen years in the Gulf, Pavi returned to Kochi and started working as a night watchman and caretaker in an extravagant apartment. "He always has a labrador named Bro with him as his best friend," he continued.

Vineeth Kumar as a director

Dileep referred to Vineeth Kumar, the director of Pavi Caretaker, as his senior because he had witnessed Kumar's development from young actor to filmmaker. "He came to me in 2018 with this script, and after a series of setbacks, including the lockdown brought on by COVID-19, the filming got underway. The actor remarked, "Vineeth is a hardworking person."

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.
