“As part of the deal, Sunny Deol will then repay the loan to Akshay Kumar in a stipulated time,” read the report, with sources claiming that Akshay would be paying around ₹30-40 crores to settle Sunny’s loan.

Dismissing the claims, Akshay’s spokesperson said, “All such claims are absolutely untrue”.

A day after the statement was made, on Monday, the bank withdrew the auction notice for the Juhu bungalow, and claimed that there was a technical glitch.
