Bollywood media receives drubbing from Amitabh, denies reports about teaming up with Rekha

Bollywood journalism received another drubbing today when Megastar Amitabh Bachchan rubbished reports suggesting that he was negotiating to star opposite ex-flame Rekha in a YRF film.

According to reports, Aditya Chopra was said to bring Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan on-screen together again. The two last worked in 1981 hit 'Silsila'.


"I am not doing it. I read it in a media report but there was no truth to it. But if you knew anybody there (at YRF) then suggest my name. As today it is difficult to get work," the legendary actor said at a function in Mumbai.

Earlier, producer Firoz Nadiadwala and director Anees Bazmee were keen to get Bachchan and Rekha together in their upcoming movie 'Welcome Back'. But things did not work out. But that was an old story, denied earlier too.

Meanwhile, Big B would be seen in a special appearance for Sanjay Dutt Productions' 'Hasmukh Pighal Gaya'. He has performed to the iconic Raj Kapoor song 'Kisiki Muskuraahton Pe Ho Nisaar, Kisi Ka Dard Mil Sake...' from the film 'Anari'.

"It is a film for Sanjay Dutt Productions. There is a situation in the film, where the hero of the film sings a song and I get into in that song," he said.
