The spokesperson of Indian producers says the film is not an art house cinema even though it’s based on a French novel, The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir Who Got Trapped in an Ikea Wardrobe, by Romain Puertolas. “While the book was in a fantastical zone, the film is an accessible fable, an entertainer and is a stellar salad of a cast from all continents, held together by Dhanush.” The film also stars Bernice Bejo, Gerard Jugnot, Erin Moriarty and Barkhad Abdi.

The film is set in Mumbai, Paris, the Falklands, Spain, Rome, and Libya, and will release in France on May 30. The spokesperson said it had been sold in 100 countries. The dates for the India release will be out soon, and there will be a different promotional campaign for the film here.
