Amitabh rubbishes report of Abhishek slapping spot boy

Mumbai, Jun 27 (UNI) Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan today rubbished reports that his actor son Abhishek slapped a spot boy.

''This was an entirely malicious reportage,'' Amitabh said in his blog. ''This is a laughable matter. Abhishek does not have the ability to strike a fly, though he does have the ability to attract incongruous and totally incorrect press,'' he observed.

''There has been absolutely no such incident on the set. It is a fabrication of the highest order. Earlier, a similar incident reported with a press photographer, was another complete fabrication. I brought the matter to an end in the court, but not before discovering a most devious plot of blackmail and extortion by the concerned party,'' Amitabh said.

''We are aware that certain media and journalists, who have painstakingly taken it upon themselves to build animosity towards us, are not the fourth estate or fifth or even the sixth or seventh. They are in no state at all and that they shall stoop to such unscrupulous deeds needs mention,'' the actor added.
