Rumour has it that Hollywood star Johnny Depp may come down to Mumbai for a recce before he begins shooting Mira Nair’s film Shantaram .
By now it is a common knowledge that Depp will play the lead role in Mira Nair’s adaptation of Gregory David Roberts’s book about an escaped Australian convict who comes to Mumbai and gets involved in the underworld. Amitabh Bachchan has been signed to play an underworld don Kader Bhai in the film.
The movie will be shot at several locations in Mumbai, including a café that Greg used to visit and the slums where he used to live.
According to the buzz, Depp will fly down to Mumbai and visit these locations to get a feel of the city’s ambience before actually beginning to shoot. He is also likely to meet Mr. Bachchan during this recce.
This will happen before the movie goes on the floors.
Reports say the movie’s shooting is set to begin in January 2008.
