Natalie Portman has threatened to sue Bollywood actor-producer Saif Ali Khan, after he announced that they would collaborate on a Hindi film, reports Digital Spy.
Khan later clarified that he had been joking, and had started the rumour in response to constant media reports on his personal life, reports The Times of India.
The actor explained: ‘It was a joke, I am sorry. It's just that I am very annoyed with speculations on all the aspects of my life.
‘If this goes on, I might just start making up stories like these to entertain myself. Hope people will understand that.’
Portman's management team issued the legal notice after Khan went on record earlier this week to say that the two would feature in a romantic comedy together.
After Agent Vinod has been flopped, Saif Ali Khan recently created a buzz in Bollywood with release of Cocktail, a romantic comedy-drama directed by Homi Adajaniaunder.

Cocktail released worldwide on 13 July 2012 and received postive to mixed comments from critics, with major praise directed to Padukone's performance. The film also emerged as a major commercial success in both India and abroad.
