Sir Ben Kingsley has refuted tabloid claims that he will play Dalek creator Davros in the upcoming season of Doctor Who.
When questioned about the rumour, the Gandhi actor told The Guardian he had "never heard about this". An article in The Sun had quoted an insider on the BBC One show as saying: "Ben’s agent has been in talks for a while now and he’s very keen to play the part of Davros. A deal will be signed any day now."
Davros was introduced in the 1975 story 'Genesis of the Daleks' and made regular appearances until he was last seen on screen in 1988.
