Thanks a lot for the info, Donna! All news concerning Shantaram make me happy and it's definitely reassuring that they're talking about other cast members. Not that I ever believed that the project would actually be done with, but it's still good to hear that no-one's thinking about giving up on the movie, at all. Let's hope they'll be able to start with it at the end of 2008 as planned. I seriously can't wait for the book to come to life on the big screen! :)

Thanks Donna!! Has there been anything in Variety or Hollywood Reporter? Right now it seems to be actors talking about actors. :unsure:

I'll just add another random tidbit which brings no news whatsoever :P It's a short quote from Amitabh Bachchan about his respect for Mira Nair:

"Mira has been meeting me off and on for a long time. She wanted me to be in her (aborted) 'Buddha'. Hopefully, my contribution to 'Shantaram' will be substantial and worthwhile. You've to admire Mira for being a lady from India and making such an impact globally, You've to admire her for her guts and enterprising spirit," the Big B told IANS.
