MUMBAI: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar on Sunday dismissed a news report claiming that he owns a private jet worth Rs 260 crore. Calling the report a "baseless lie", the 55-year-old actor said he will continue to call out falsehood written about him.

"Liar, Liar? pants on fire! Heard this in childhood? Well, some people have clearly not grown up, and I'm just not in a mood to let them get away with it.

"Write baseless lies about me, and I'll call it out. Here, a Pants on Fire (POF) gem for you. #POFbyAK," Kumar wrote on Twitter.

The "Cuttputlli" actor also posted a screenshot of the report that featured his photo along with his "Bellbottom" co-star Vaani Kapoor standing in front of a private jet. The caption of the picture mentioned that the aircraft reportedly "costs around Rs 260 crore".
