LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brendan Fraser made a stunning comeback to Hollywood with a phenomenal performance in Darren Aronofsky’s ‘The Whale’ and is touted to be a frontrunner for the Best Actor accolade at next year’s Academy Awards. The movie primarily focuses on a man named Charlie who has gained a lot of weight after the tragic death of his partner. His partner's sudden demise shattered him and he started to suffer from an eating disorder. He works as an English professor and wants his students to write something authentic and reconnect with his estranged daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink).

The movie had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival earlier this year and received a standing ovation from the audience. Meanwhile, the entire theatre erupted when the movie ended at the BFI London Film Festival and also applauded Fraser’s impeccable performance. ‘The Whale’ has now made its way to the theatres for a limited release and opened to a bumper response by earning a substantial amount of money.
