The makers of the film The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir released the trailer today. The trailer opens with Dhanush trying to wriggle his way out of the hands of cops by claiming that he is a very well-known Fakir from India and can perform magic. Later, it goes on to give us a glimpse of how he grew up realising that he is poor but has this one ultimate dream to visit Paris one day. The trailer gives a glimpse of how the movie manages to highlight the problems faced by immigrants all over the world in a light-hearted fun way. The film marks the Hollywood debut Dhanush.
