Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan has pooh-poohed the reports in a section of the press that he had been paid Rs 115 crore by server ''bigadda.com'' to write his blog.
''This in entirely incorrect. I use the services of the server bigadda.com and nothing else, there are no finances involved at all'', the Big B said.
Writing in his blog after attending the opening night of the Cannes film festival, Bachchan has challenged the Mumbai-based tabloid to show him receipts of the payment made or any contract signed by him and disclose the source that has confirmed the information to it.
Besides Bachchan, his wife Jaya Bachchan , son Abhishek Bachchan and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also attended the opening night function at Cannes, where the film 'Blindness' was screened.
With the Bachchans figuring prominently in many of the Indian events planned for Cannes, the Big B, Abhishek and Ash, who is a brand ambassador of French cosmetics giant L'Oreal, one of the main sponsors of the Cannes Film Festival, are likely to fly back to flag off ABCL's alliance with Reliance and promote their forthcoming film Sarkar Raj .
