I've heard this book, based on a true story, is fantastic. I'll definitely have to read it before the movie comes out. Meanwhile, I think Johnny Depp and Mira Nair will make a great team - can't wait!

Quoted: Depp is to play the lead in Nair's new movie "Shantaram" about an Australian fugitive on the run who arrives in Mumbai, sets up a free clinic in a shanty and works for the city's crime bosses.
