Shantaram is a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts, in which a convicted Australian bank robber and heroin addict escapes from Pentridge Prison and flees to India. The novel is commended by many for its vivid portrayal of life in Bombay in the early to late 1980s.

After a protracted history of possible film adaptation with the likes of Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe & Joel Egerton attached, the novel was finally adapted for the small screen as a miniseries in 2018 with Charlie Hunnan in the lead role.
