I have been reading the recent brouhaha about Chetan Bhagat's tussle with the makers of 3 Idiots for credits. I am not sure how far and what is true but I gathered that the rights for the movie was properly bought 2- 3 years back and he was promised credit in the end. Does it really matter? I am not sure what Mr. Bhagat is running after (if he is running after as reported)?
All print media, blogs have mentioned that the film is based on this book. People who have read him also can identify the same. I am not sure if it is one of those publicity gimmicks or just plain "need" fore recognition.
All I can say is that "Mr. Bhagat, your book was a trendsetter after which many IIM grads wrote similar stuff". You were first of the block and always will be remembered for it irrespective of whether there is a flick like "3 Idiots" or not.
What new are you coming out with?
