Amitabh Bachchan has confessed that acting in the remake of his own legendary movie ‘Sholay’ was a big mistake.

"Sholay's remake was a mistake. I should not have acted in the remake of my own film”, said the actor.

The remake of ‘Sholay’ was made by Ram Gopal Varma and was named ‘Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag’. The movie was released in 2007 and it was panned by critics as well as fans. In the movie Amitabh Bachchan had played the villain role.

Amitabh also added that for him remakes will never be as good as originals.

"An original film will remain an original in my mind."
