Remaking old films has almost become a trend in Bollywood these days, what with almost every other film being remade into a newer version. But actress Vidya Balan believes one should not tamper with an old classic.

Apparently, there were reports that the actress 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 actress revealed to a leading media agency.

On the work front, Vidya is working on her upcoming film, ‘Tumhari Sulu’, which was earlier slated to release on December 1but 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.
