After walking out of his upcoming film just 10 days before the shooting begins, director Abhishek Pathak is planning to sue her
Just a day later after the good news of her engagement to Dino Lalvani, a telecom tycoon, Lisa Haydon is in for some bad news. Apparently, the supermodel walked out of director Abhishek Pathak's upcoming film Atithi sequel, 10 days before it was to go on floors. Lisa was to play the female lead in the movie with the shooting to commence on September. But now with marriage on the cards, her backing out has left the shoot in soup. Besides the sultry actress, the movie will have Paresh Rawal and Tanvi Azmi playing the atithis, while that Lisa and her reel man Kartik Aaryan, were supposed to deal with.
A livid Pathak told a tabloid, “We had locked Lisa for the role, exchanged contracts and even got her visa ready. The set was ready in Filmalaya studio but we got a call from her manager 10 days before the schedule that Lisa wasn't interested in doing the film anymore.Suddenly, I hear from someone that she's getting married which is why she can't do our film. We had everything ready, from visas for the entire crew to locations. Now all that money is down the drain. My crew's work permit visa is valid only for a limited period so I don't know what to do now." He also adds that the 30-year-old actress made some “strange demands“ earlier, however, her walking out of the movie is uncalled for. “One day she told me that she couldn't lip-sync for any of the songs. She was aware that it's a commercial film and it would have songs but we complied, agreeing to go ahead with it," he recalls.
Pathak says that Lisa's “unprofessionalism" has incurred him losses and that he plans to sue her. “These people come from abroad and don't understand how people put in effort, sweat and blood to make a film. We shouldn't be entertaining people who don't understand the value of money that a producer puts into a film. The contract was handed over to her team long ago but they kept delaying signing it because she had other plans. Her agency had stated multiple times in mails that she was doing our film; she had sent us her passport details for the London schedule as well. We had already locked dates of senior actors like Pareshji and Tanviji, my London crew had been booked. We're taking legal action against Lisa. Her talent management agency should take responsibility for this mess,“ Pathak continued. As of now, the London schedule of the film has been postponed by a week's time. “We are hoping to start by October 20. We are also hoping to lock a new girl soon," added Pathak.
