Lay, a Chinese member of K-pop boy group EXO, is not shooting a film with actress Zhang Ziyi, his agency SM Entertainment said Wednesday.

It was speculated that Lay was working on Zhang’s new film but an official from SM denied it as a “groundless rumor.” The confirmation came after Chinese media reported that Lay would participate in the science-fiction comedy “The Baby from Universe” coproduced by Zhang and Guo Jingming.
