The Shantaram TV show wasn't filmed in India! So I went to Mumbai to show you the actual locations from Gregory David Robert's book Shantaram. How are you enjoying the Shantaram TV show?
If you've read the book, you're also going to notice that the location names in the TV show have been changed. The locations in the book are real places where the author Gregory David Roberts spent time. I highly recommend you read the Shantaram novel if you enjoyed the TV show.
"The original intention was to shoot Shantaram in its settings of Australia and India. In late 2019, the production moved to Bhopal, which was to be used for scenes set in Mumbai. Here they made use of areas that had changed little since the 1980s, including the famous Chowk Bazar, and also constructed a set to depict the shantytown where Lin Ford first settled in the city. The arrival of Covid suspended filming in February 2020, but even before this, the production was plagued with difficulties, with Hunnam particularly badly affected:
“Filming in India, I really learnt what it means to be fighting for your life for about five weeks,” he told Foxtel News. “I got a bacterial stomach thing and a significant lung infection and conjunctivitis in both eyes. Then I got an ear infection, then I got strep throat, then I got bitten by a mosquito and got dengue fever. I’m just glad that I pulled through.”" from "Where was Shantaram filmed?" by CN Traveller www.cntraveller.com/article/w....
