Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has rubbished reports of veteran athlete Milkha Singh suggesting actor Akshay Kumar?s name to play himself in Bhag Milkha Bhag, Mehra?s ambitious new biopic on his life, and Vidya Balan?s name to play his wife. ?This is absurd, he is such a senior person, an athlete. Why would he get into who should play whom in the film? This shows the level of media reporting in our country,? says Mehra.
