'Maari' actor Dhanush had announced his Hollywood debut with 'The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir', last year. However, director Marjani Satrapi, who was touted to direct had recently walked out due to some conflict with the producers, stalling the project. The issue has reportedly been resolved with 'Starbuck' and 'Delivery Man' director Ken Scott joining the crew as writer-director. The new cast to share screen space with Dhanush will be, Laurent Lafitte, Erin Moriarty, Barkhad Abdi, Abel Jafri, and Berenice Bejo. The story revolves around a Rajasthani fakir (Dhanush) who tricks his villagers into sponsoring his flight to Paris where he meets a girl and falls in love while conning her. Principal photography will begin in May this year in locations including Mumbai, Paris, Brussels and Rome.
