Lisa Haydon in legal mess

It was all pink when Lisa Haydon announced her engagement to UK based businessman Dino Lalvani. But it now comes across that the leggy lass has landed herself in a legal mess. Reportedly, Lisa walked out of Abhishek Pathak’s next the sequal to ‘Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge’ only ten days before the director was about to begin the shoot on September 24.

Talking about the same, Abhishek said, “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 ten 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 alleged that Lisa made ‘strange demands’ earlier and added, “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.”

The filmmaker further asserted, “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 (Paresh Rawal) and Tanviji (Tanvi Azmi), my London crew had been booked. We’re taking legal action against Lisa. Her talent management agency should take responsibility for this mess.”
