Sources close to the Big B are not amused by the incessant reports that the mega-star has ‘slowed down’ due to ill health, the latest being Shirish Kunder who claims his “dream project” with the Big B called <em>The Common Man</em> is uncommonly delayed because of Amitabh Bachchan’s ill-health. “Not true!” Says a source close to the Big B, “Amit<em>ji</em> is fine. He’s working around the clock. All these stories about his ill-health being the cause for the delay for his film projects are nothing but excuses to deflect attention from the real reason for the delay.”
