Bollywood star Hema Malini on Monday said she was not averse to re-makes of superhit movies but the charms of blockbusters like Sholay, in which she had acted, and of the Madhubala-Dilip Kumar starrer Mughal-e-Azam could never be recreated.
The "Dream Girl" of yesteryears, who was in Bhopal to present a ballet -- "Draupadi" -- on the occasion of the golden jubilee celebrations of Madhya Pradesh Assembly, said her dream role would be to act with daughter Esha Deol in a film.
"I am not against re-makes. But movies like Sholay and Mughal-e-Azam can't be reproduced. You wish to see them
again and again," she told reporters in Bhopal.
When asked if anyone else would be able to do justice to the role of Basanti, her character, in the re-make of Sholay, she said: "Basanti to Basanti hai (Basanti is Basanti)".
Asked if she would like Esha to play the role of Basanti in Ram Gopal Verma's forthcoming remake of the superhit film,
Hema said she would like to see the script as she believed that major changes have been made in the role.
To a query, she said Amitabh Bachchan was a great actor and would be able to do justice to the role of Gabbar, the villain, in the upcoming movie. Bachchan was one of the leads in the original film.
Claiming that use of classical music and dance in films has reduced in recent times, the ace Bharatnatyam dancer said the current generation preferred western dance and music, but the importance of classical art forms would never diminish.
