The logic is simple. The3I team wanted to pass it off as completely their work. Heck, they even tried convincing CB of not including FPS at all. Such shame.

Rolling credits could mean anything. Maybe CB thought his name would come first and in large font as soon as the movie ends. WHICH is what they shouldve done. They gave CB a measly treatment by doing what they did.

Did you get to hear his latest interview ..I mean CB's

He is now pissed that it should not be based on CD's book but his name should be with the writers - Abhinav Joshi, Raj Kumar HIngori and CB...

And it sliped out of his mouth(which I heard it).."that its them who are going to go collect the awards for the story"

So it came ot me that all this is just to go get awards. He wants to be on the stage...get the attention.

I say hats off to Abhinav Jsohi who is teaching literature and have written Lage raho...and he enjoys working with thema dn he never came out to get this publicity. He could have an dgot more work, interviews, money and minutes on TV...

What he meant by the awards statement is that when and if 3 Idiots wins all of that...he would get ZERO credit because his name wasnt even properly mentioned in the credits. So the ntire credit, of even the STORY, would go to 3 Idiots team. I think it would be unfair for majority unknown to FPS think that Raju and team were the guy who came up with this brilliant thought provoking idea. When in reality, it was Chetan. Also, Chetan said that VVC promised him that his name would appear with the cast, sreenplay etc among the noticeables. VVC fell through his promise, and it's obvious what they were trying to do by actually throwing CB's name in the middle of randoms.

I think its unfortunate that some of Aamir's best movies are marred by controversies involving credits. Amole Gupte said he wasn't credited for directing TZP and now CB's complain about 3I.

Not unfortunate, Aamir likes to keep it that way. The dude is smart, he's always the monkey in the cat-dog fight. 😆 Anyways, I respect his marketing strategies, its great that he knows how to sell his product by hook or by crook. Other than that, I'm not getting into the whole crediting-not crediting business, half of IF has already done that. 😆
