The makers of Dhanush’s upcoming film The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir just dropped a fun-filled trailer of the movie. This film will make the Tamil actor’s debut in Hollywood.
The trailer of The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir begins with our protagonist, played by Dhanush, trying to escape the cops by convincing them that he is a fakir from India. It then takes us into Dhanush’s childhood, one that was characterised by poverty and cultivated in him a dream to leave India and go to Paris, France. Upon reaching Paris, he happens to meet someone but fate has other plans for Dhanush. From Paris to London to Spain, The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir seems like it’s guaranteed to be a roller-coaster ride across Europe and beyond.
Watch the trailer here:
Based on a book by Romain Puértolas, The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir is the story of a magician on journey to Paris. At the core of it, the film tackles the issues of refugees but in a light-hearted and senstitive manner.
