Scottish actor Gerard Butler is not playing one of Priyanka Chopra's seven husbands in Vishal Bharadwaj's "Saat Khoon Maaf", the National Award winning actress clarified through her Twitter page.

"Guys just to clarify things... Gerard Butler is not in 'Saat Khoon Maaf'. I don't know where these fictional stories come out as news," Priyanka posted Wednesday.

A Mumbai tabloid had recently published that the actress had used her personal rapport with Butler to rope him in for the project. And she is quite miffed.

"I'm almost scared to Tweet anything now cause of journos and their overactive imaginations who make up stories by just presuming my mindframe," she added.

"Saat Khoon Maaf" is based on Ruskin Bond's story "Susanna's Seven Husbands", about a femme fatale who bumps off her seven spouses. It also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan.
