This is one of the hottest news today. Last year, Warner Bros. had

announced that Hollywood actor Johnny Depp was to star in film

adaptation of Gregory David Roberts's novel Shantaram. The film was

then to be directed by Peter Weir, but he later opted out of the

project. However, now, Mira Nair has been finalized to direct the

film. The film will be co produced by Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.

Shantaram will be shot extensively, in Mumbai and also in Australia

and North America. Eric Roth is writing the script of the film. Mira

Nair however, is currently working on a small budget film which deals

with the issue of AIDS. The film stars Shiney Ahuja, Raima Sen and

Irrfan Khan.
