Charlie Hunnam wants to keep his identity hidden in exclusive Shantaram clip
In the fifth episode of Shantaram, Charlie Hunnam's Lin attracts the unwanted attention of a journalist
Apple TV+’s new drama, Shantaram, transports audiences to a developing India in the 1980s. Set in Bombay, the series is an adaptation of Gregory David Roberts’ novel of the same name. Charlie Hunnam plays the lead, Lin, but nothing about him is as it seems. Lin is actually a fake identity after he runs off from an Australian prison, making the slums of Bombay his new home after befriending a local tour guide, Prabhu (Shubham Saraf). The show follows Lin’s adventures as he gets entangled in the seedy underbelly of the city.
However, Lin is also a do-gooder at heart, using his former paramedic experiences to provide medical care for the slum-dwellers. It leads to him getting praise from the residents (including some of them falling at his feet in gratefulness, which is undoubtedly weird to watch). His activities also cause Kavita (Sujaya Dasgupta), his new friend and a reporter, to want to write about him for her newspaper.
