Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan dismissed reports that he has tested negative for coronavirus and called the piece of news "an incorrigible lie".

The 77-year-old actor, who along with actor-son Abhishek, was admitted to the isolation ward of Nanavati Hospital here on July 11 called the news ‘fake’ of him testing negative for Covid-19.
