Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has rubbished reports that he is teaming up with Rekha in the
Disney-produced film 'Marma Yogi'.
The news stating that the timeless Amitabh-Rekha pair was likely to come together again had been
published in a national daily. The report, which had television channels going berserk, now turns out to
be totally unfounded.
'I've no clue what or which film you're talking about. This is utter rubbish,' Amitabh told, putting an end
to all the speculation about the screen-pair coming together.
In fact, according to well informed sources, it's not just unikely but impossible that the pair, who made
us swoon in innumerable films from 'Do Anjaane' to 'Silsila' will ever come together again.
Years after 'Silsila', the Amitabh-Rekha pair came together in unexpected ways when Rekha dubbed
for both the leading ladies, Soundarya and Jaya Sudha, in the Amitabh starrer
'Surayvansham'.
Amitabh Bachchan also denies media reports that his son Abhishek lost his temper and slapped a
spot boy on the sets of his film 'Drona'.
'This is a laughable matter. Abhishek does not have the ability to strike a fly. He does have the ability
though to attract incongruous and totally incorrect press. There has been absolutely no such incident
on set. It is a fabrication of the highest order,' he wrote on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.
Amitabh also rubbished the earlier incident when Abhishek had beaten up a photo journalist.
'The earlier incident with a press photographer was another complete fabrication,' Amitabh
stated.
The Big B has been posting a lot of complaints against the media on his blog lately.
His recent addition reads: 'We are aware that certain media and journalists have painstakingly taken it
upon themselves to build animosity towards us and follow religiously an unprofessional bias that will
never change.'
Rekha and me? This is utter rubbish
