Superstar Salman Khan has clarified that he is collaborating with actor Akshay Kumar for a project and has requested everybody to not believe in rumours.
On Sunday night Salmaan tweeted: "Don't follow rumors. Follow me. Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di toh phir... Very much doing film with Akshay Kumar."
Earlier this year, Salman had announced that he will be co-starring with Akshay in a project to be produced by Karan Johar.

Salman had said that Akshay will be the hero of the film which he will co-produce and will come out in 2018.
There were reports that the Shivaay star had written an open letter to Salman about his film Sons of Sardaar: Battle of Saragarhi, which led to an assumption that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor might have backed out of the film with Karan and Akshay because of the same reason.
It is being reported that both Ajay and Karan’s films are reportedly based on Havildar Ishar Singh of 36th Sikhs (now 4th Battalion of the Sikh Regiment).
Ajay Devgn had announced this project earlier and indicated that this would be his next big production after Shivaay. The tiff between Ajay and Karan happened ever since the clash of their films Shivaay and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Ajay had accused Karan of hiring sources to spread bad words about his film, which turned their relationship quite sore.
Adding to it, Karan’s long time friend, Kajol also chose to take sides and believed her husband Ajay, which went on to hurt the director so much that he decided to part his ways from his best friend.
In fact, he also mentioned in his biography, The Unsuitable Boy, that he would never patch-up with Kajol. Even Kajol remained silent in an exclusive conversation with indianexpress.com saying, “relationships are always hard to carry, no matter what.”
Anurag Singh, known for films such as "Raqeeb" and "Jatt and Juliet", will direct the yet-untitled project.
