Has he paid the tax? Or has he not? Numerous questions were raised yesterday when news flashed about Big B wearing glasses worth a few lakhs in his upcoming film 'Zamaanat' and then gifting them away to the film's producer/director.

Media had a field day flashing the news all over that IT department had sent a notice to Big B raising questions about the multi-lakh glasses. In quick time, old cases were also discussed about IT being on a chase as far as their earlier notices to Bachchan senior were concerned.

But all this proved to be just a rumor/false reporting as IT declared by evening that nothing of this sort had happened at all as the story had no credentials.

In the film 'Zamaanat', Big B plays the character of a blind lawyer who wears big black glasses that covers a major part of his face. Long in the making, the film also stars Arshad Warsi and Karisma Kapoor and is aiming at a June/July release.
