Entertainment is a movie of many firsts. Besides the fresh pairing of Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah, it is the first film that has the actor sharing screen space with a dog.
It is also the directorial debut of Farhad-Sajid. Not just that, in his more than two-decade long career, this film marks Akshay's first association with producers Ramesh S Taurani and Jayantilal Gada. This rib-tickling comedy revolves around Akhil Lokhande (Akshay), who initially comes up with devious plans to knock off his father's pet dog so that he can inherit the fortune, but eventually ends up sharing a bond with the canine. Taurani feels that the scenes between the actor and the dog are the film's USP. He says, "You'll see a completely different side of Akshay when he interacts with the dog. We were keen on having a Golden Retriever play the role of Entertainment. Accordingly, our crew in Bangkok found Junior. He was well-trained and we're happy with the results."

Gada adds, "I'm proud to produce this family film. It is the first movie that features a dog as one of the main characters and I hope it appeals to all age groups." Jay Shewakramani is the movie's creative producer while Dhaval Jayantilal Gada, Kushal Kantilal Gada and Reshmaa Kadakia are co-producers. Entertainment, produced by Tips Industries Ltd and PEN, releases today.
