Dhanush's 'The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir' now on OTT

Dhanush's international debut film, The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, is now available in Telugu on the Aha OTT platform. Originally released in 2018, the movie tells the story of Ajatashatru Lavash Patel, a street magician from Mumbai, who embarks on an adventure to find his father. The film takes him across Europe and Africa, encountering various surprises, including getting stuck in an IKEA wardrobe. Despite mixed reviews, Dhanush’s performance as the lead character was widely praised.

The film, directed by Ken Scott, didn't perform well at the box office, earning only $3.26 million worldwide. However, it found a place on several streaming platforms, with versions available in English and Tamil. Now, with its Telugu release on Aha, more viewers can experience this quirky adventure.

Dhanush, known for his diverse roles, is currently focused on upcoming projects. He's working on Idly Kadai and Kubera, a highly anticipated film set for a June 20, 2025, release. Kubera, which stars Nagarjuna Akkineni, Rashmika Mandanna, and Jim Sarbh, is a pan-Indian project shot in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. Dhanush’s role in Kubera is rumored to involve a beggar who rises to become a mafia king, though this has not been confirmed yet.
