Nandita was rumoured to be signed on for lyricist-turned-filmmaker Kutti Revathi's maiden directorial venture.
"This was news to me as well, as I have not heard of the people mentioned or the project. I am on a summer break with my son and soon returning to dive into my 'Manto' project.
"It has been a while now that I have been declining all other distractions, so not sure what this is all about! Guess these days there is smoke without fire," Nandita wrote on her Facebook page.
The project, reportedly, also stars actor-filmmaker Samuthirakani.
