There were media reports that Kohli has apparently invested money in the film, which also stars Anushka in the lead role.
However, the 28-year-old star, said apart from her banner, only Fox Star Hindi is serving as producers on the film.
"Putting to rest some rumours that have been doing the rounds for some days now. 'Phillauri' is produced by Fox Star Studios and Clean Slate Films. So those TV channels/newspapers/ websites claiming anything else, please check FACTS, practice responsible journalism and have some shame," the actress wrote in an Instagram post.
"By making such bogus claims and validating this rubbish by your so called 'source', not only are you disrespecting me and the hard work I have put in over the years to be where I am, but also, all the people who have worked on this film. Freedom of press comes with accountability & your fake sources are never accounted for.

"This must be just another story for you but it's someone's life you are toying with. I am more than capable of producing and promoting my own films. Thank you," she concluded.
In December, there were reports suggesting that Kohli would finally get engaged to Anushka when the two were holidaying in a resort near Rishikesh.
