Dhanush first intercontinental film The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir is all set to hit Indian curtains. Leading distributor Anil Thadani will release the English dialectal comedy-adventure film in India on June 21st, 2019.
The film, based on The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir who got stuck in an IKEA wardrobe written by French novelist Romain Puertolas, also stars Berenice Bejo, Barkhad Abdi, Erin Moriarty and Abel Jafri in essential roles. The film deals with the glitches of migrants across the world. In spite of handling a rather delicate and low subject, the film seems to be filled with light-hearted humor.
Sashikanth says, ‘Fans will be thrilled to see Dhanush in a different dimension that they have never seen before. This film has already garnered international recognition and I am sure the actor’s stardom in Tamil Nadu, coupled with its remarkable concept, is going to be a treat for the Tamil audience.’
In a statement to the press, Dhanush adds, ‘I am so happy that The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir is coming to India so I can share it with my fans, who inspire me to keep working hard and take chances.’
Directed by Ken Scott, Pakkiri will release worldwide on June 21, 2019. While Amit Trivedi has composed the songs, Nicolas Errera is behind the background music.
