In the published paper, there were two issues on the gravitational lensing that need to be corrected and clarified.
(i) The deflection angle \(\alpha (r_{0})\) of the photon (see Eqs. (42) and (43) in the published paper) for the most general static spherically symmetric metric \(\mathrm{d}s^{2}=-A(r)\mathrm{d}t^{2}+B(r)\mathrm{d}r^{2}+C(r)(\mathrm{d}\theta ^{2}+\sin ^{2}\theta \, \mathrm{d}\phi ^{2})\) was in fact obtained by Virbhadra et al. [1] in the year 1998.
In the same paper, they [1] also obtained impact parameter \(J(r_{0})\) of the deflected light:
that we used in calculating impact parameter of photon sphere.
(ii) Photon sphere. Virbhadra and Ellis [2] and Claudel et al. [3] gave 2 different definitions of photon sphere for a general static spherically symmetric space-time and then they [3, 4] showed that both definitions give same result:
which reduces to \(A'r=2A\), and Eq. (44) of our published paper will be obtained.
Thus, in this erratum, we clarify that these authors derived such equations that we ignored stating in the published paper.
We are immensely grateful to K. S. Virbhadra for pointing out these to us.
