perfect marketing and distribution collaboration and reach the right
audiences. Having been very successful in select International

Producer and Managing Director, M! Capital Ventures.

Gupta, Luc Bossi, Jaime Mateus-Tique, Gregoire Lassalle, Genevieve
Lemal and Co-Produced by Abhayanand Singh and Piyush Singh from Golden
ratio who are also presenting the film.
"I Could not have asked for better more exciting partners when I
started this extraordinary journey. I know this very unique film is in
safe hands with Golden Ratio, AA Films and YNOTX's teams." says
Producer Aditi Anand
Hollywood Reporter comparing it to "a la Slumdog Millionaire or Lion"
goes on to say "At a time when the plight of immigrants has become the
subject of heated political debate in Europe and the U.S., an
extremely feel-good migration movie like The Extraordinary Journey of
the Fakir comes along as a rather pleasant surprise."
Based on the book by Romain Puértolas, the film is about an Indian
street magician's journey to Paris. The film deals with the problems
of immigrants across the world. Despite handling a rather sensitive
and gloomy subject, the film seems to be filled with light-hearted
humour.
