MUMBAI: Dhanush is on cloud nine! His Hollywood debut film, The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir, has been garnering praises worldwide for its incredible story and stellar performances by the lead star cast.
Directed by Ken Scott, The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir is a French English-language comedy-adventure film. It is based on a novel by Romain Puertolas titled The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir Who Got Trapped In An Ikea Wardrobe.
The film recently premiered in Canada and was sold out in no time. It released in France on 18 May 2018 and earned applaud from the audience.
Dhanush plays the character of a street magician and trickster, who tricks people into believing that he possesses special magic powers and tries to swindle them.
The synopsis of the film, as listed by co-producer Little Red Car Films, is as follows:
"After his mother’s death, a young fakir from the streets of Mumbai, AJATASHATRU, leaves India for France to track down the father he never knew. From the moment he arrives in Paris, nothing goes as planned. Aja falls in love with a young American woman having an existential crisis, wakes up in a truck full of Somalian refugees headed for England, is held hostage in a bureaucratic war, sorts out the love life of a Hollywood star, gets shot at by a hitman in a Roman palace, travels by private jet, merchant ship and hot-air balloon, and becomes a rich man for the span of a few hours. As Aja finds himself helplessly shipped from Folkestone to Barcelona, and from Rome to Tripoli, what was initially supposed to be a simple visit to Paris to discover his father’s identity turns into a veritable odyssey."
