Lisa Haydon was on the top of her game ever since Queen happened. So was Rati Agnihotri when she did Shaukeen in 1982. Lisa is back with another film this year,The Shaukeens, which is a remake of the cult 1982 film. Lisa plays the central character in the film, which was originally portrayed by Rati. We caught up with the leggy lass and chatted about whether or not the two characters are similar. Here’s what she had to say…

“I have not seen the original movie full. My dad downloaded it a few days back. It was very late in the night when I started watching it. I was falling asleep so I just fast forwarded it till the part when Rati Agnihotri comes and I saw the movie till half and then dozed off.” Now we can credit that to her tiredness and hectic schedule that she slept off. Wethinks in no way would she have slept off had she been in her fully jolly spirits. Also the Rascals actress was all praise for Rati who, Lisa thought, played her part fabulously.

Lisa says,”Rati Agnihotri was fantastic in the film and I completely loved her part. However, my character Ahana is very different from her’s.” We too hope that there is some difference between the original and the remake so that actors are able to add in their personal flavour to their parts. We are desperately waiting for the film to release.
