The filmmaker maintains that Lisa’s “unprofessionalism” has cost him dearly and that he plans to sue her. “These people come from abroad and don’t understand how people put in an 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 emails 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,” Pathak asserts.
Meanwhile, the London schedule of the film has been pushed forward by a week. “We are hoping to start by October 20. We are also hoping to lock a new girl soon,” Pathak signs off.
