Dhanush plays a magician in Hollywood debut

It's official: Dhanush, who's making his Hollywood debut with The Extraordinary Journey of The Fakir, is playing a street magician called Ajatashatru Oghash Rathod in the film. He was quoted saying,"it's a very positive film," and he has "a solid scope to perform."  

Directed by Ken Scott, the film is based on a popular novel of the same name. Initially, France-based filmmaker, Marjane Satrapi was supposed to direct the film, but she was eventually replaced by Scott. The film has been shot in Mumbai, Paris, Brussels and Rome.

The actor while speaking to us last month said this whole phase has been challenging as he's constantly learning. He also added his Hollywood debut made him understand various aspects of production and filmmaking. 

Dhanush is currently busy wrapping up Vada Chennai and Enai Noki Paayum Thota, and he will begin Maari 2 once he finishes his existing commitments.

Incidentally, some time ago, it was revealed that Vijay plays a magician in his upcoming film, Mersal, as well
