EON: Rai 'Offer' False

The Times of India says that EON has denied reports that a top Bollywood actress was in talks for a leading role in the next Bond movie.

In the article, EON makes the same statements that 007 NEWS reported last week - there's no script, no date and no casting for the next Bond movie.

Numerous British news sources had reported that Aishwarya Rai had been offered or was in talks to star in the movie. Rai is currently on the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.

Thanks to Parijat Thakur for sending in this news.
