its very clear that aamir khan and gang r saving their few bucks and keeping all the credit to himself. during TZP also he kept all the credit when the whole thing was done by screenplay writer9forgot his name). every one who has read the book and seen the movie is saying that is a total adaptation of his book. vidhu vinod chopra even shouted at the press which clearly shows that they r at fault. bcoz had they been right they wont shout like this, they would be cool. did not expect this from aamir.



i did. hes a fake fellow.

Who pays attention to film credits anyway? by creating media hoopla, CB and his book has gained international notoriety that wouldn't have been possible with mere mention of his book at the end of film credits. It's a win win situation for CB unless he is looking for a profit cut from the movie which would be a different matter.

From my interpretation of the news it seems that Chetan Bhagat wants to be credited with screenplay in the rolling credits. The screenplay credits always belongs to the screenplay writers. They have never credited author in rolling credits. They only insert an acknowledgment somewhere that says based on/inspired by 'X' novel by 'Y' author.

Although, I do not recollect seeing the acknowledgment. If Chetan Bhagat wants an acknowledgment it is fair. However, he cannot expect a screenplay credit.

Hmm.. i posted this on bollywood forum :

It is really not about the "opening credits" or "rolling credits" . It is about the story credit which should be given to Chetan Bhagat (along with Hirani and abhijat joshi for all the changes in the movie ) . When you have taken a book for "inspiration" .. it doesnt matter how different the book is from the movie ( i.e 5% or 70 %) , you cant credit someone for original screenplay , it has to be under adapted screenplay . Chetan is not asking for more money here , he even admits that everything was done legally .. all he is asking for is a story credit .. and he has every right to be miffed if the screenplay is called "original".

I havent read Chetan's novel but some people who read it were saying the movie is almost the same. Also Aamir hasnt done it first time now. Earlier during Taare Zameen Par , the movie was directed by someone else called Anmol Gupte, but Aamir Khan took all the credit. He has done the same thing now. What else can u expect ?? totally disappointing behaviour on Aamir Khan's and Vidhu Vinod Chopra's part !!

In his blog he states that he does not want the screen play credit.
