Together, they have purchased the film rights to the novel as a vehicle for Depp in a deal said to be worth $1-$2 million. Depp would play the novel's narrator, set in the underworld of contemporary Bombay. Shantaram is narrated by Lin, an escaped convict with a false passport who flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of a city where he can disappear.
