The heartthrob Bollywood Actor R Madhavan recently confessed that he feels the movie 3 Idiots is better than the book. Moreover, the writer Chetan Bhagat even reacts to this comment. Author Chetan Bhagat got into a nasty Twitter spat with actor R Madhavan.
R Madhavan and the writer Chetan Bhagat got into a war of words on Twitter. But let us tell you, it all seems a promotional gimmick by celebrities for their recently-released Netflix show Decoupled. In the series, Madhavan, who plays the second-bestselling author in India, is constantly in competition with Chetan, who plays himself.
Actor R Madhavan & Chetan Bhagat:
Let us tell you, it all started when Chetan answered a ‘movies vs books’ question by tweeting, “My books, and the movies based on them.” Replying to this, Actor R Madhavan said that he is biased towards films, to which the author replied, “Have you ever heard anyone ever say the movie is better than the book?” “YES! 3 Idiots,” Madhavan replied. The film, in which he played an engineering student, was based on Chetan’s book Five Point Someone. Check out the Tweet below.

In the end, Madhavan and Chetan ended their war of words on a good note. “WOW, if this was your writing test, I’d say you passed. But honestly, what did you think about my Netflix debut?” Chetan wrote. Madhavan joked that the author is ‘better on the big screen’, just like his books, but added that he was actually ‘brilliant’ in the show.
So, this was all about the war of words between Chetan and Madhavan. Stay tuned to Bollywood Hush for the latest celebrity news and updates.
