3 Idiot controversy

January 3 2010  Categorized Under: Uncategorized  one Comment

Aamir Khan film 3 Idiot is the latest controversy in Bollywood now. The 3 Idiot controversy is that the producer and author Chetan Bhagat holds the view that his novel was the basis for the success of the film Three Idiots. On the other hand, Aamir accuses Bhagat for trying to take away the credit from the film 3 Idiots’ scriptwriter Abhijat Joshi who was working on the script for three years. Publicity-seeking people were trying to generate a controversy, says Aamir about the controversial issue. As a response Bhagat called Khan and the film producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and the Director Rajkumar Hirani “uncivilized people” and he also rejected all the allegations that he was hankering for publicity. He said that they are making a fool of themselves.

The 3 Idiot producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra was irritated before the media’s statement that the film was similar to the book. Later when Chopra outburst towards the media, Aamir asked him to apologize but the producer refused to do so. The conclusion made by Chopra was this: We will send a ‘get well soon’ card to Chetan and we will also send some flowers.

According to Aamir it was the author himself who approached Raj Kumar Hirani to make a film on his book. Aamir said: “It was Chetan who came to Raju and requested him to make a film on it. Hirani read the book and decided to make a film. But when they began writing the script it became entirely different. Chetan read the script and he was completely satisfied with it. He even told me that the script and the book are very different”.

It is noticeable that Bhagat had earlier accused the film makers of not giving him adequate credit in ‘3 Idiots’ which is adapted from his bestseller ‘Five Point Someone’.
Chetan Bhagat said that from the very beginning the film was promoted on the lines that it is based on ‘Five Point Someone’. But when he saw the film, he found out that hi name was nowhere to be seen in the opening credit. This factor in fact is really painful for anyone. Bhagat also added that “for the past two years I trusted Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Aamir blindly and this is what I get in return. Now I am being threatened with legal action but I am ready for it”.

But Aamir’s says that the film makers were honest in their agreement with the novelist as they had given him due credit in the film. In Aamir’s opinion of the issue, the credit should be given to Abhijat since he was working behind the script for three years. He also added that nobody knows Abhijat and Bhagat is already a star.
