After an unforgettable debut at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, Rambo, the beloved canine star of ‘Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo’, has returned to his home at Eastwind. The film’s world premiere, held on September 4 in the prestigious SALA GIARDINO cinema, was a momentous occasion not just for Egyptian cinema but for Rambo’s career as well.
This marks a triumphant return for Egyptian cinema to the international stage, with ‘Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo’representing the country’s first selection in Venice after a 12-year hiatus. The film captured global attention, and Rambo, a meticulously trained canine actor, took center stage in a show-stopping performance. But Rambo’s journey to stardom was not a typical one—his story began in a much different place.
How Rambo and Wick Were Discovered?
The journey began when director Khalid Mansour approached Eastwind Actors with the scenario for ‘Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo’. Given the intensity of the film, with Rambo appearing in almost every scene, Eastwind knew that one dog alone wouldn’t be able to manage the long hours of filming. They embarked on a search for two identical balady dogs who could share the role.
That’s when they found Rambo and his brother Wick. The two dogs were living on the streets in very sad conditions, struggling to meet their basic needs. It was clear that these two had the potential to shine, and Eastwind decided to adopt them both. Thus began their rehabilitation, with Eastwind providing the care, nutrition, and love they needed to recover. Over the next four months, Rambo and Wick underwent rigorous training to prepare them for the challenging demands of a movie set. By the time filming began, both dogs were ready to take on their roles with precision and confidence.

Rambo’s transformation from a street dog to a leading actor is a testament to the exceptional work of Eastwind Actors. For over seven years, Eastwind has been at the forefront of training and managing top-tier canine talent, and Rambo’s success is just another example of their expertise.
