Mumbai, January 03: Novelist Chetan Bhagat on Friday said he has no problem about going to court to solve the credit controversy in Aamir Khan-starrer hit 3 IDIOTS.
Bhagat alleged that the producers of the film have not given appropriate credit to him.
Bhagat, who is the highest selling Indian writer in English, said the 3 IDIOTS producers assured him the movie had an original script and was only 2-5 per cent based on Five Point Someone, the novel that catapulted the author to fame.
However, when the film released, Bhagat alleged that it borrowed heavily from the book.
“What’s with the court threat. I’d happily go to court. They’d lose so badly. Because there, truth talks, not stature,” he wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.
