“Shantaram never went on floors. Mira Nair had come to me saying she wanted me to do a role in the film. Also, the film was to feature Johnny Depp and she was excited about it. I agreed to do the role,” Indian Express state Bachchan saying. He went on to explain, “Later she told me that they have abandoned the project. I don’t know what is happening with ‘Shantaram’ now.”
