Welcome to my Shantaram novel and movie site
is a novel of epic proportions written by Gregory David Roberts. It tells the story of his break from a Melbourne prison in Australia and escape to New Zealand followed by India where much of the novel is set. In India he lives in the slums of Bombay and opens a medal clinic. After a harrowing experience of getting caught and spending time in an Indian prison he becomes involved with the local mafia.
The novel, however is much greater than a prison break story. It is a novel embelished with all of the human emotional traits: love, hate, friendship, enemies, life and death.
Warner Bros. Pictures bought the movie rights for the novel and are making a movie starring Johnny Depp due to be released in 2007. It will directed by Mira Nair.
