When asked about the reports, Butt responded saying, “No, this is not true at all. I don’t know where it started from.”
He continued to clarify, “Yes, I was offered an Indian film, but it was one of those Punjabi movies, which are usually shot in London or Canada. We were in talks for that project but I don’t know why its production never progressed, and it never went on the floors.”
