Vidya Balan not Interested for Remakes

Remakes may be the latest trend in Bollywood but the 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 favorite 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.
