No Big B-Rekha scenes in R Balki's 'Shamitabh'

Rekha who made her comeback with Supernani will also be seen in R Balki's Shamitabh. But to suggest that the film 'reunites' the blockbuster pair of Suhaag, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Silsila is, in the director's words, "utter baldersdash." "Rekhaji has done a cameo in my film. It's a very special cameo and her fans will be thrilled. But that's it. There is no big provocative history attached to her presence in my film," says the director.

The report suggesting that Big B and Rekha are reuniting in Shamitabh started when Dhanush who plays the romantic lead tweeted a picture of him and Rekha together. 

The 'look-I-am-working-with-the-icon' picture did not go down well with the makers of Shamitabh. "It was completely out of turn. We didn't want the news of Rekhaji's presence to be leaked out. We didn't want gossip to go around just because Bachchan Saab is in the film. And that's exactly what happened. Dhanush shouldn't have tweeted that picture," says a source from the unit.

Dhanush, it seems, was taking a cue from the Big B who has regularly been tweeting about the progress with Shamitabh.
