Bollywood mega star Amitabh Bachchan has clarified that he is not playing the role of Gautam Buddha in Puri Jagannathan's film Budda.

"Media is thinking that the next film of mine with Puri is on Gautam Buddha simply because the title approved for that film is Budda, which means an old man and not Buddhist saint Gautam Buddha," Big B wrote on his blogbigb.biggadda.com.

"Either the electronic media misunderstood the title because of the spelling or they mixed the other news of Vivek Sharma, director of Bhoothnath, wishing to make a film titledBuddham Sharanam Gachchami with me," Amitabh added.
