Lisa Haydon

Actress Lisa Haydon who recently announced her wedding to her beau Dino Lalvani has been entangled in a troublesome situation with her upcoming film. According to reports, Lisa walked out of director Abhishek Pathak’s forthcoming flick ‘Atithi’ 10 days before it was to go on floors. Lisa was to play the main lead in the movie. The movie also stars Paresh Rawal, Tanvi Azmi and Kartik Aaryan in important roles. Now, that Lisa has walked out of the project, the director is angry and upset over her unprofessional behaviour.

Here’s what the director told a leading daily, “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. 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. 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.”

Well, what do we say on this? Let’s just hope that the matter gets sorted quickly.
