Pakkiri Movie: A Mumbai boy's journey to Paris in search of his magician father is the story of the extraordinary journey of the Fakir. The French- English film is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed book The extraordinary journey of the Fakir who got trapped in an Ikea wardrobe by Romain Puertolas. Though it is not the exact same story from the book, the overall concept has been carried over to the big screen. Releasing in India as Pakkiri, the Dhanush starrer is expected to be a welcome treat for his fans after some not so hit from him like Maari 2 and VIP 2.
The Extraordinary Journey of Fakir Still
The production is a French- Indian collaboration with the Indian producers Aditi Anand and Saurabh Gupta. Aditi Anand is praised for her role in convincing Dhanush for the role of the Fakir. Even though the filming started before Maari 2, the post-production delays led to the film being after Maari 2. Dhanush is playing as the Fakir, a street magician and con artist in the streets of Mumbai.
