I heard somewhere that they were planning to make a movie of the book Shantaram. Does anyone have any details?

Shantaram and movie
Yeah, that's right! There's a Shantaram movie in production right now, scheduled to come out in 2009. Mira Nair, famous for Monsoon Wedding and Mississippi Masala, is directing. Johnny Depp is starring and Amitabh Bachchan will play Khader Bhai.
It was put on hold earlier this year, due to the writer's strike. But, I think it's back in production now.

I believe the movie was put on hold but is likely going to be produced in the near future. Several famous actors have expressed interest in portraying Shantaram. The book in incredible, btw, especially the crazy stuff he does in Afghanistan!
