Chris Evans making secret 'Top Gear' film

London: Actor-director Chris Evans is making a "secret Top Gear film" despite denying strong rumours that he will replace Jeremy Clarkson as presenter of the BBC motoring series.

Evans, who was among the instant favourites to fill Clarkson's shoes, said he will soon be filming a "Top Gear sequence" with an independent production company, reported Independent online.

When quizzed Evans on whether he had started to present Top Gear yet, Evans replied, "Not started yet, but we are doing a secret Top Gear film."
