We study the physical features of a class of exact solutions for cold compact anisotropic stars. The effect of pressure anisotropy on the maximum mass and surface redshift is analysed in the Vaidya-Tikekar model. It is shown that maximum compactness, redshift and mass increase in the presence of anisotropic pressures; numerical values are generated which are in agreement with observation.
