High drama at '3 Idiots' press conference

Vidhu Vinod Chopra apologies at 3 Idiots Press Conference

Loosely inspired by Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone, producer Chopra came clean that the only one who had read the book was director Raj Kumar Hirani, this lead to another confession by Aamir where he admitted to meeting author Chetan Bhagat and telling him that though he was working on the project he hadn't yet had the opportunity to read the book, the response he got from Bhagat was not expected. "He laughed and told me not to bother as the screenplay for the film was nothing like the book."

The controversy began when Chetan Bhagat, the author of the book Five Point Someone, claimed that the film is modelled on his book he was not given credit for the film. The filmmaker and actors though brush his claims aside, saying this is nothing but cheap publicity.
