Dhanush has been rigorously promoting his flick ‘The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir’ at the Cannes Film Festival. Earlier, Dhanush walked the red carpet along with his director Ken Scott and posted the pictures on Twitter. He tweeted “Fakir’s next stop will be Paris. See you all soon.” The film is inspired by the novel 'The Extraordinary Journey of The Fakir Who Got Trapped in an Ikea Wardrobe,' which was released in 2014. Touted to be an adventure flick, Dhanush plays a character named Ajatashatru, who sets on a mission to find his missing father, that takes him to places like Paris, Spain, Rome and Libya.
Directed by Ken Scott, the film stars Bérénice Bejo, Barkhad Abdi and Erin Moriarty in prominent roles. Distributed by Sony Pictures, the film is scheduled to be released on May 30. The film has been dubbed in Tamil as ‘Vazhkaiya Thedi Naanum Poren’.
Meanwhile, Dhanush is expected to resume shooting for the gangster comedy ‘Maari 2’, a sequel to the 2014 Tamil film of the same name. The National Award-winning actor is awaiting the release of the highly anticipated ‘Vada Chennai’, directed by Vetri Maaran.
