<p>The trend of remakes in Bollywood may be on the rise but actor Vidya Balan believes one should not tamper with an old classic.<br /><br />There were reports that Vidya was offered to play Sridevi's role in a remake of "Sadma".<br /><br />"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.<br /><br />"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 PTI on the sidelines of Jio MAMI Movie Mela event here.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />The National Award-winning actor, meanwhile, is looking forward to her next film, "Tumhari Sulu".<br /><br />She plays a carefree housewife who turns into a late- night radio jockey.<br /><br />The film was earlier slated to release on December 1 but the makers shifted the date to avoid a clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, "Padmavati". "Tumhari Sulu" will now release on November 24.<br /><br />"I think everyone's dates have changed now, I have not kept a track. All I know is 'Padmavati' is coming on December 1. We got a clear date so we jumped at it.<br /><br />"I am never stressed about the release of the film. If similar kinds of films were releasing, then I would be worried, not otherwise." <br /><br /></p>
