Mira Nair to direct Shantaram
Mira Nair has been given the job to direct Johnny Depp in the movie release of Shantaram.
Mira Nair was born in India and currently based in New York. Some of her previous films include Mississippi Masala which starred Denzel Washington and The NameSake.
“It is a novel that completely grip me, as it did millions of others and it is a best selling novel but also Johnny Depp is such an extraordinary human being and great actor and he embodies so much what Shantaram is so when he asked me to direct him it was just a great honour,” said Mira Nair.
“Mira knows this book backwards, she has read it and discussed with great many people and she has a passion for this project which will bring something so exciting to it. And also she knows city of Bombay so well,” said author Gregory David.
