So, reiterating his previous statement, Akshay has again clarified that he is not doing the movie. “I don’t know anything as Divya has not told me that I am doing the film. It’s good if she has said anything to you (media). In that case you should ask her what is that film,” he said.

“I haven’t signed anything (and) I don’t know anything about it. So it’s better you ask to her only.”
