TIL Desk Bollywood/ The trend of remakes in Bollywood may be on the rise 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,” the actor told on the sidelines of Jio MAMI Movie Mela event here.
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 Anupama Chopra and Rajeev Masand.
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.
