Chetan Bhagat still seems to hang on 3 Idiots controversy. He tweeted that 3 Idiots team were selfish enough not to thank him for the book. In his words, Chetan tweeted, “Heard they didn’t even say thanks. Krishna is watching. They took home the trophy. I took home the love. What’s better?” On a philosophical note, he remarked, “Bad things happen to you, to make you realise your true potential, strength, will power, and heart.”
Readers may note that that in the month of January, writer Chetan Bhagat had sparked a controversy that he was not given proper opening credit in 3 Idiots. The super-hit record breaking blockbuster is based on Chetan Bhagat’s best seller ‘Five Point Someone’ The writer maintained that the movie had 90 percent of the material from the book, yet he was not given credit. Aamir Khan rushed to the defence of the 3 idiots and invited criticism when he said that Chetan Bhagat is trying to take credit from Abhijat Joshi, the screenwriter of 3 Idiots. Raju Hirani said that Chetan Bhagat was trying to create publicity for selling his book and that he had been paid for the rights.
