Vi segnalo l'intervista concessa da Mira Nair a Richa Bhatia, e pubblicata oggi da The Times of India. La regista rivela qualche dettaglio circa la trasposizione cinematografica di Shantaram:
''Is your film, Shantaram, shelved?
Shantaram didn’t happen. It’s really sad, because everything was sorted out. But when we had completed shooting for a month, the Hollywood Writer’s Guild in America went on strike, demanding more writers in the business. The slogan of that strike that went on for 100 days, was ‘All pencils down’, which means you can’t write a single word. Johnny Depp, the producer of Shantaram, owns the rights of the film, couldn’t wait for three months. It was a film worth making, but sadly, it didn’t happen'.
