Having been very successful in select International locations where it’s released so far, we are very excited to have the best partners in India, led by Golden Ratio Films, to maximise the potential of this film across English and Tamil,” said Saurabh Gupta, producer and managing director, M! Capital Ventures.

The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir is directed by Ken Scott and produced by Saurabh Gupta, Gulzar Singh Chahal, Aditi Anand, Samir Gupta, Luc Bossi, Jaime Mateus-Tique, Gregoire Lassalle, Genevieve Lemal and co-produced by Abhayanand Singh and Piyush Singh from Golden ratio, who are also presenting the film.

“I could not have asked for better more exciting partners when I started this extraordinary journey. I know this very unique film is in safe hands with Golden Ratio, AA Films and YNOTX’s teams.” added producer Aditi Anand.

Based on the book by Romain Puértolas, the film is about an Indian street magician’s journey to Paris. The film deals with the problems of immigrants across the world. Despite handling a rather sensitive and gloomy subject, the film seems to be filled with light-hearted humour.
