Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam will star in the Apple-funded TV series adaptation of the bestselling Shantaram by writer Gregory David Roberts. This is reported by the publication Deadline.

The work takes place in the 80s of the last century. In the center of the plot is a hero named Lin, a former robber who escaped from an Australian prison and is trying to establish a new life in the slums of Bombay. He gets the nickname "Shantaram" and starts working for a major local gangster. The book contains a lot of philosophical reflections and aphoristic reasoning. It has been translated into 39 languages.

The first two episodes of the show will be directed by Justin Kurzel, director of the 2015 movie Macbeth. The script will be prepared by Eric Singer, previously worked on the painting "Red Sparrow". The season will consist of ten episodes in total. Filming is due to start in October 2019 in Australia, the government of which has provided tax breaks to the creators of the series, and then the movie crew will move to India.

Note that in 2004, Warner Bros. acquired the rights to movie the book for two million dollars. Johnny Depp was supposed to play the lead role. But this project was never realized.
