Saif Ali Khan's revelation that he's doing a romcom with Hollywood star Natalie Portman next seems to have stirred up quite a storm. Although the Bollywood actor-producer maintained that he was joking, it seems the representatives of the Oscar winning actress for 'Black Swan' didn't share his sense of humour. Buzz was that they had issued a legal notice to Khan to ensure that a clarification of his statements was put out.
According to a source connected with the agency that handles Hollywood actress's work, "The story of Saif doing a romcom with Natalie wasn't taken lightly by the agency. They were wondering how someone was making such claims about their star client as they're not aware of any such development. So they decided to set right the wrong news that has been going around since the report first came out early last week."
Our informer further adds that after the legal notice from Natalie's agency reached Khan, he clarified his stance on Saturday. "It was a joke. I'm sorry. I'm just annoyed with speculation on all aspects of my life. I might just start making up stories to entertain myself," he said. While he avoided any mention of the notice, a source close to Saif maintained that they had not got any notice from anyone in this regard.
However, our source associated with the Hollywood star's agency asserted, "Considering the situation got a little too serious for Saif's 'joke', as he calls it, it's but obvious that they'd deny receiving any notice."
