It is no secret that Mira wants to make a film called Shantaram , which is based on the famous book by Gregory David Roberts. The film tells the story of an escaped Australian convict who travels through continents and ends up in Mumbai's underworld. 
While Mira has already got Johnny Depp's consent for the lead role in the film, she had been meeting Amitabh Bachchan for the role of a Mumbai-based gangster called Kader Bhai who becomes Depp's mentor and father figure in the movie. The good news is that Mr. Bachchan has agreed to act in Mira's film. Big B will now be reading the novel by Gregory David Roberts. Johnny Depp has already read the book. Mira, who is currently in India for the promotion of her latest movie The Namesake , said she hopes to start pre-production work on 'Shantaram' in April. The movie's shooting is likely to start by November this year. Before 'Shantaram', Mira Nair will make a short film on AIDS, starring Shiney Ahuja , Irrfan Khan and Raima Sen . The project is a joint effort by filmmakers like Nair, Vishal Bharadwaj and Farhan Akhtar. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan has seen Nair's 'The Namesake' and appreciated the movie very much.
