Subhash Ghai dismisses report of Amitabh Bachchan being part of his film

Yesterday, newspapers and film websites were flooded with the news that Subhash Ghai was to unite with legendary Amitabh Bachchan for a biopic to be made on Sarabjit Singh, an Indian national currently languishing in a Pakistani jail. But Ghai has made it clear that he hasn’t given a quote on this topic at all. In a statement issued to the press Ghai observed, “In our forthcoming film Sarabjit to be directed by Ishwar Singh and starring Sonakshi Sinha and Anurag Sinha, I need to clarify that Amitabh Bachchan is not in the film. Yes we did approach him but after reading the script, he informed us that he was playing a lawyer's role in another film that he had already committed to. We mutually agreed not to cast him in this film, though I would have loved to have worked with a legend like him. So, as of now, we are still talking to other actors for this role and will soon be announcing the name.” Tellychakkar.com will soon update the space!!!
