Bhopal: Casting aspersion on the remake of popular films of yesteryears, renowned actress and danseuse Hema Malini said she firmly believed that such movies will fail to achieve popularity.
''I believe that remakes cannot provide natural character to the scenes and the situations in comparison to the original film on the subject. Besides, there will be a room for doubt whether new actors will succeed in providing form to the expression of stars of that era,'' Hema Malini told reporters on Tuesday.
On whether any artist will be able to justify the role of Basanti in the much-talked remake of yesteryear blockbuster Sholay, she said there was no comparison between her and new Basanti.
''Basanti to Basanti hi hai,'' she remarked. (Basanti will remain Basanti.)
Regarding her daughter Esha Deol playing the character of Basanti in the remake Sholay, she said no such proposal had been received.
On virtual disappearance of classical dance from Indian films, she said the western culture was dominating the films these days.
However, expressing hope, she said, classical dance will return to Indian films.
Pointing out that film industry had become more professional, the Bollywood's Dream Girl said movies were churned out in three or four months these days, while during her time film production took several years.
