However, both her husband Abhishek Bachchan and her father-in-law, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan have lambasted the tabloid for indulging in "irresponsible journalism".

Amitabh has posted a copy of the article on his blog and branded the news "completely false, completely fabricated, unsubstantiated, insensitive and of the lowest quality of journalism there ever was."

Anurag Basu Will Direct Abhishek Bachchan Himself

It looks like Anurag Basu's proposed project with Abhishek Bachchan will have to wait.

Producer Goldie Behl who recently announced a film starring Abhishek Bachchan to be directed by Anurag Basu to be produced under Goldie's banner Rose Movies, has now decided to first direct his own film starring Abhishek Bachchan before going on to Anurag's film.

Goldie says he doesn't want to wait as long as he did between his first directorial undertaking Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai and his second Drona to make his third film.

Says Goldie, “There was a gap of seven years between my first and second film. I got distracted by many things. I don't want to wait at all to start my next film. ”

Goldie is the process of locking in on his third directorial venture to start shooting before the year ends. Abhihek Bachchan's presence is a given.

“I can't dream of making a film without him. He's my brother, ” says Goldie emotionally.

However the reason why Anurag Basu's project has been moved forward is a little more complicated. Basu is busy with the pre-production of his film starring Ranbir Kapoor. His project with Abhishek for Goldie Behl has been pushed to the next year.

Says Goldie, “That's true. Anurag starts anothers film before he starts mine. That's an important project for our banner because it is the first production from Rose Movies to be made by an outside director since my sister Shristi and I took over.

If you remember, my father Ramesh Behl had started the banner by giving a chance to Ravi Nagaich to direct The Train. With Anurag Basu we hope to carry forward the tradition of using promising directors. Anurag has come up with a wonderful concept. ”

Unfortunately Anurag's script is far from ready. So Goldie gets to direct Abhishek first.

Unhappy Gul Panag Dumped Her Film With Abhishek?

Gul Panag has left the film, 'Crooked', after shooting with Abhishek Bachchan for five days. Apparently, there are some issues between her and the team of 'Crooked'.

According to Gul's manager, Gul left the film because of a change in script. He states that she hadn't started to shoot but had signed the film and done the look test. She was present on the sets but didn't shoot.

Sources indicate that she left because she was unhappy with the script and had some other issues. It is an inconvenience for producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani to have to look for a replacement after coming this far with everything.

The film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Sarah Jane Dias and Soniya Jehan and is being directed by Abhinay Deo.

Vivek Oberoi Is Not Stalking Aishwarya & Abhishek?

Vivek Oberoi is clearly not happy about being tagged as a "stalker" or a "gatecrasher" and says he is "genuinely sick" of all controversies.

"Suddenly I'm a stalker one day and one day I'm a gatecrasher. Mela laga hua hai kya (Is it a fair of controversies)? Will anybody say anything and walk away? What nonsense is this?

It's very irresponsible and I completely disapprove of it. It's rubbish. If there was an element of truth in this, I can understand. But this is nonsense, " Vivek told.

The actor, who was here to give a sneak preview of a Bollywood musical to be performed at a yet-to-be opened entertainment destination Kingdom of Dreams, seemed visibly upset about recent news reports about him.

He has been accused of going uninvited for a party at superstar Shah Rukh Khan's residence where his former beau Aishwarya Rai was present with husband Abhishek Bachchan.

"Shah Rukh and Gauri have been exceptionally kind to me, they are lovely people. It's not like I haven't been to their place before. I have been to their place for their events, their parties - and suddenly I become a gatecrasher? From where? Does anybody do that? I won't go to my relatives house without an invite, " Vivek said.

The 33-year-old also came in the spotlight recently when he was seated next to the former Miss World at a function in Mumbai, while at another event, he was blamed for being strategically seated behind power couple Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.

And when Vivek made an unexpected late entry at the premiere of "Rann" in New Delhi Thursday, where Aishwarya and Abhishek were present, his presence was speculated upon yet again.

"Yesterday I came out of the premiere of 'Rann' and I was asked a silly question - 'Why weren't you sitting in the same auditorium?'. How do I answer that? Do I have to go search for them in each auditorium and then sit accordingly? It's ridiculous. And if I was inside the same auditorium as theirs, then people would say 'You're stalking them', " said Vivek.

He stressed that every person involved in these speculations has moved on and is happy in his or her life, and so the media should just let them be.

"They are all happy with their own lives. I am doing great work by god's grace, my personal life is very happy, I have got a great life and wonderful friends. They (Abhishek and Aishwarya) are married, they are really happy, doing really well and they are wonderful, civil to me as I am to them and there is no problem. It is irritating that people just keep bringing it up."

The actor first brush with controversy came when he called a press conference against actor Salman Khan in 2003. He has been courting controversies ever since, but says he is tired of making clarifications now.

"I'm tired of clarifications. Why should I keep giving clarifications? There are new stories about me everyday, so should I leave everything and make clarifications?

I'm a human being, I'm an actor, I work, I have a family, I have got a nice life - let me live it. Otherwise I should be on the hotline with the media constantly. I am genuinely sick of it. People should stop it now, " he said.

On the film front, Vivek will soon be seen in Ramesh Taurani's "Prince" followed by Ram Gopal Varma's two-part series "Rakta Charitra".

Aishwarya & Abhishek Don't Want To Be A Couple Anymore?

Abhishek Bachchan's film, ‘Crooked' was supposed to star his wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But she was out of the film before Abhishek started shooting for it on January 14 due to date issues. However, he isn't upset at all.

According to sources, Abhishek and Ash wanted to work together again but not as a pair. They weren't playing a couple in ‘Crooked'; on the contrary, Ash was to play his enemy. His romantic interest in the film is former Miss India and VJ Sarah Jane Dias.

The film, directed by Abhinay Deo, stars Sarah Jane alongside Shahana Goswami, Gul Panag and Pakistani actress Sonya Jehan, who has replaced Ash.

Ash's role, which was that of a cop trailing global criminals, has gone to Sonya. Sonya debuted with Akbar Khan's ‘Taj Mahal', where she played Mumtaz Mahal and then did Sudhir Mishra's ‘Khoya Khoya Chand' where she played the role of a 1950s actress, which was based on her grandmother Noor Jehan.

Sonya was chosen for her fair skin and light eyes. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani has confirmed her part in the film. However, he won't reveal her role. He also wants to change the title as ‘Crooked' is only their work title and he doesn't want it to stick.

Priyanka Abandoned Abhishek For Seven Husbands?

Priyanka Chopra, as we all well know by now, is very keen to be part of Rohan Sippy's film.

Rohan who had earlier worked with Priyanka in Bluff Master was also keen to cast her in his Goan drug-busting film. Sippy wanted to cast Priyanka in a powerful role opposite the Southern star Rana Daggubati.

The earlier plan was to cast Priyanka opposite Abhishek. But now a new girl will be paired with Abhishek while Priyanka was seriously considered opposite Daggubati.

Says a source, “Unfortunately the dates on which Priyanka was required for Rohan's film clashed with Vishal Bharadwaj's film.”

After Kaminey Priyanka has a unique chemistry with Bhardwaj. In Vishal's Ek Bataa Saat (which means ‘1 into 7') she plays a woman with seven husbands, a big challenge for the actress.

Says a source, “There was no way Priyanka could let go of Vishal's Ek Bataa Saath. So she regretfully opted out of Rohan's film.”

Now Rohan says he would probably have to cast newcomers opposite both Abhishek and Rana Daggubati.
