Remakes may be the latest trend in
Bollywood
but actor
Vidya Balan believes one should not tamper with an old classic.
There were reports that Vidya was offered to play Sridevi's role in a remake of '
Sadma
'.
"I would not do it (remake a film). I can't dare to make or do something again. I was offered 'Sadma' remake and I said no to it. As I feel one should not touch a film like 'Sadma', why tamper with it? These are timeless films. One can reinterpret it but I am not one of those who would go for it," Vidya said at a film event.
Vidya said
Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 'Anand', Ramesh Sippy's 'Sholay',
Mahesh Bhatt's 'Arth' and
Shekhar Kapur's '
Mr. India
' were her favourite films during a conversation with film critics.
The National award-winning actor, meanwhile, is looking forward to her next film, '
Tumhari Sulu
'.
She plays a carefree housewife who turns into a late night radio jockey.
The film was earlier slated to release on November 1 but the makers have shifted the date to avoid a clash with
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus,
'
Padmavati'. 'Tumhari Sulu' will now release on November 24.
"I think everyone's dates have changed now, I have not kept a track. All I know is on December 1 'Padmavati' is coming. We got a clear date so we jumped at it.
"I am never stressed about the release of the film. If similar kinds of films were releasing, then I would be worried, not otherwise," she added.
