The legendary actor stated, “I do not know any of the companies referred to by Indian Express – Sea Bulk Shipping Company Ltd, Lady Shipping Ltd, Treasure Shipping Ltd and Tramp Shipping Ltd.”
He said that he has never been the director of any of the above stated companies and there is a possibility that his name is being misused.
