Dhanush's Next: An English Film With An Award Winning Director?

Perhaps, if we had reported this news a few years back, it would've seemed irrational, but not anymore as there is nothing Dhanush can't do at the moment, including playing the lead in a Hollywood flick. In the ongoing 68th Annual Cannes Film Festival being held at France, famed Persian writer and director Marjane Satrapi has revealed her idea of compressing a best selling novel into the big screen.
'Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an Ikea Wardrobe' is a 2013 French novel written by Romain Puertolas. The book narrates the story of a Rajasthan man who travels to Paris to buy a bed of nails from an Ikea store. 

Now according to some reliable sources, the movie which is based on this novel will be made in English and that talks are on with Dhanush to play the protagonist, Fakir.

Marjane Satrapi's 2011 film Chicken with Plums gained her critical recognition, presenting her the Best Feature Film Director Award at the

 Noor Iranian Film Festival. Known for dishing out critically acclaimed novels and films, Marjane Satrapi's collaboration with Dhanush, if the project materializes, would be a treat to watch, not only for Indian audience but for movie lovers all over the world. 

Also, this movie could present Dhanush with a rare opportunity, that of becoming a Hollywood star. Will he be able to go all the way to Hollywood in the near future? Stay tuned to keep yourself updated.
