Ramesh Sippy: Not really keen to remake 'Sholay'
New Delhi, April 21 Bollywood has been obsessed with remakes of cult films and blockbusters but filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, who gave Indian cinema one of its biggest gems, "Sholay", in 1975, does not favour the idea of his 45-year-old classic being recreated.
"I am not really keen to recreate 'Sholay' unless one can imagine a way to represent it in a very different way. Otherwise, remaking is something I would not like to do as far 'Sholay' is considered. It does not mean that I am against remakes many films have been remade beautifully but it's not that easy. It's how you recreate the whole world of a particular film and genre
