What Is The Fakir of Venice About?

The premise of The Fakir of Venice without spoilers.

Adi Merchant, a street‑wise hustler from Mumbai, is commissioned by a Venetian artist to locate a mystic fakir for an ambitious art installation in Venice. Instead of a genuine sage, Adi swindles the art world by hiring Sattar, a modest daily‑wage laborer, to pose as the fakir. The unlikely pair embark on a series of misadventures, discovering friendship and chaos amidst the city’s canals, architecture, and vibrant art scene.
