The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir trailer: The Dhanush starrer will hit the screens on June 21.The trailer of Dhanush starrer The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir is out. In the over two-minute-long video, we are introduced to Ajatashatru Lavash Patel (Dhanush) who doesn’t like to be poor. While living in Mumbai slums, Ajatashatru, with his magic tricks, manages to collect a handsome amount of money and flies to Paris with fake 100 Euros.
The journey gets interesting from here as while he appears to be living a good life in Paris and almost finds a girl (Erin Moriarty), he mistakenly is taken to England in a wardrobe. The confusion grows as he next lands in Spain and then Libya but continues to request the police to send him back to Paris.
Dhanush is convincing in the role of an aspirational ordinary man. He represents the whims and fancies of an immigrant well and brings humour to the Ken Scott directorial. Apart from Dhanush, the movie boasts of an impressive star cast including actors like Berenice Bejo, Barkhad Abdi, Erin Moriarty and Abel Jafri.
