E Niwas's My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves, starring Amrita Rao and newcomer Nikhil Dwivedi, is 75 per cent complete.

The rumour doing the rounds and giving Nikhil sleepless nights is that he has been dating Amrita ever since they started work together.

Nikhil fumes, "No I am not dating Amrita. Neither would we want to date each other. I was shocked when I came to know of the link-up.

It's irresponsible to float such rumours. In spite of being in the industry for five years, not once did she make me feel like a newcomer. She has been a complete professional right from day one."

He also admits that his love life has been affected by the alleged rumour. "Apart from the fact that it must have affected Amrita's dignity, there is also the fact that I can't date another girl because of Amrita.

Nor can a girl who is interested in me ask me out on a date. They feel I am already hooked to Amrita. I am having serious problems with my love life..."

Though Nikhil is quick to add that he's not on the lookout for a romantic involvement right now.

"The buzz that Shah Rukh Khan is producing the film is not true. T-Series and E Niwas are co-producing the film. E Niwas wanted to set up his own banner and as he's co-producing for the first time. He wanted some production expertise, which Red Chillies has extended. Shah Rukh knows E Niwas as he's directed some ads with them," he says.

Nikhil is also quick to deny any friendship or close association with SRK.
