The Story in Brief
Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has denied reports that he will play comedian Mehmood in an upcoming biopic on music composer RD Burman. In an Instagram story, Hashmi wrote that he had not been approached for the film and was not involved with the project. The biopic is reportedly being produced by Excel Entertainment and directed by Neeraj Pandey.
The Times of India reports that Farhan Akhtar is expected to play Burman on screen, while Akshay Kumar has been approached to play Rajesh Khanna. Excel Entertainment, which is backing the project, has not yet made any official announcement. Hashmi is currently preparing for the release of 'Awarapan 2' on August 14.
The Indian Opinion
Bollywood biopic rumours spread faster than facts. An Instagram story from Emraan Hashmi, not the film's makers, had to kill one. The industry and its gossip mills feed on such speculation, often ignoring basic verification. Audiences should wait for an official announcement from Excel Entertainment before taking any casting news as gospel.
