/> The pursuit of scoops and newsbreaks have turned a section of the entertainment media into a nervous and anxious wreck.

The sab-chalta-hai brand of manufactured (mis) information touches new heights with a story in a Mumbai daily where the over-enthusiastic reporter claims Abhishek Bachchan is playing the true-life character of Lal Bihari Mritak.

Both the proposed film's director and producer Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik are baffled with this story.

Says Satish, "I never said Abhishek is playing the role. All I told the correspondent is that the script is ready and an actor will be finalized to play the protagonist shortly.

I even offered to let her know the cast as soon as it's finalized. Still she wrote that Abhishek is doing the film. Amazing!"

Producer Anupam Kher is even more befogged. "I've no clue where such talk comes from. All I know is, Satish and I are determined to co-produce films that make a difference.

We've just completed Tere Sang which deals with a the contemporary subject of pre-marital pregnancy. We're now going to film the story of Lal Bihari. And only the correct actor will be cast."
