Karan says a news report that the "Krrish 3" star is asking for a profit of the film is false.
"Article insinuating that Hrithik asked for a large percentage of profit for 'Shuddhi' is baseless, untrue and completely uninformed," the "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" director tweeted Wednesday.He was also angry over reports saying that he himself is playing the lead in the film. 
"I am playing the lead in 'Shuddhi'! Sounds ridiculous? Well as ridiculous as some of the news reports making the rounds!," Karan posted on Twitter Thursday.

Big B's next project - to hand over fan's gift to Aaradhya

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who was recently in Dubai to promote his new film "Bhoothnath Returns", was given a gift by a fan of his granddaughter Aaradhya. He has been asked to give it to the "right person".

The 71-year-old used his official blog srbachchan.tumblr.com to post a few photographs of a little girl dressed in pink with a gift in her hands.

"And this little beauty, who walked through the crowd to give a gift she had wrapped herself for Aaradhya insisting that she open it to show me what it was, explaining the contents, putting it back the way it was wrapped and making sure I would give it to the right person. "A delight to be with kids. They are so simple and yet so vulnerable, yet so so correct," posted the grandfather of two-year-old Aaradhya, daughter of star couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.

He is also grandfather to his daughter Shweta's children Navya Naveli and Agastya.

In "Bhoothnath Returns", which releases Friday, he features with a child actor named Parth Bhalerao.
