I dont know why Raju/ Aamir are downplaying Chetan Bhagat's contribution...if there wasnt a five point someone there wouldnt be a 3 idiots!
Yes the story/ screenplay is a lot of different but the basic spirit is the same...its almost like Slumdog Millionaire is adapted from Q&A ...I am a big Chetan Fan ( ya he wont go down in History as the true heir of Shakespeare, but his writing has a wit and a charm which is very contemporary and relavant)...so go Chetan...and yes for me you are one of the heroes of the 3 idiots success😊!

They gave him credit towards the end but it wasn't that big an acknowledgement that is usually given to writers. Chetan Bhagat said that at the time he gave permission to Hirani, he wasn't in a position to bargain but today he will demand directors for a proper acknowledgement.

Abhishek Kapoor (director of Rock On) is going to make '3 Mistakes of my life', another book by Bhagat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_3_Mistakes_of_My_Life

Chetan Bhagat is also waiting for a huge production house like Yashraj or KJo to buy rights for his latest book '2 States'. It is loosely based on his life. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika fit the bill for the lead characters.

I am ashamed of Aamir...
Even the script of TZP was an almost snatched product....wasnt there sumone who said it was his script and he was to direct it !!
The film IS VERY MUCH copied from the book !! Not just loosely inspired !!

Amol Gupte. He did entire research for TZP.

But here it was Hirani who didn't acknowledge Bhagat and you don't really expect anything from the most insecure VVC.

Just by looking at the statements in the press from Chetan B and Amir/VVC it appears that Chetan is such a humble man and VVC is so arrogant! Saw Vidhu Vinod Chopra's interview on Aaj Tak channel. His comments were in poor taste saying that when a film becomes such a major hit, lots of people come out to claim fame. Did not expect such a poor comment form a director like VVC about the very writer of the book on which his movie is based, according to his own announcement when the movie project started. Shame on you VVC! The movie is a hit because of Amir, not you...
