I am very disgusted by the Aamir Khan-Chetan Bhagat-Vidhu Vinod Chopra-Rajkumar Hirani-Abijat Joshi controversy. Shame on you! Aamir, I really admired you and watched your films with a lot of loyalty but I have really lost all respect for you. How could you call CB a person who wants to seek publicity by using you and the media? CB is a well known author and his books are loved by the young and old alike for their simple language yet intelligent and authentic story line. In fact, you're the ones who use the media to sell your films and rake in the moolah. You guys ought to be ashamed of yourself. I agree that the script has been written by Abhijat Joshi but even Samuel Beaufoy thanked Vikas Swarup (author of "Q&A", the book on which Slumdog Millionaire was based) while receiving his Oscar, even though the book and the movie had noticeable differences.
Hail the REAL 3 Idiots - Aamir Khan, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani!
(Do read this article by Lada Guruden Singh on the same controversy at the India Today website. Its a must read!)
Its extremely disappointing!
ReplyDeleteWas shocked with Aamir's statement..
CB doesn't need any amount of publicity to sell more books.
Weird!
