It’s been days since author Chetan Bhagat and makers of 3 Idiots have been engaged in a verbal row. Both claim they are behind the story of 3 Idiots. Bhagat claims since almost 70% of the film is based on his book ‘Five Point Someone’ he deserves a credit for the story of the film along with Abhijat Joshi and Raj Kumar Hirani while Hirani and gang claim only Abhijat Joshi deserves the story credit for the film as it is his hard work, besides key scenes of the film have not been taken from the book. Chetan feels the credit given to him in the closing credits of the film is not enough and that he should be acknowledged in the opening credits as well for the story of the film right after Abhijat’s name. Chetan believes no matter the alterations in the screenplay, at the end of the day the basic foundation of 3 Idiots is his book and thus he deserves the story credit as well. Hirani disagrees with Bhagat’s claims saying, “We have officially bought the rights for the film. We drew a contract with Chetan and it clearly mentions about the position of his credit. With open eyes he had seen the contract, consulted his lawyer and signed the agreement. We haven't changed the font size. We haven't increased the speed of the title. It's exactly there where it was agreed to be.
