Bestselling author Chetan Bhagat on twitter called out Vidhu Vinod Chopra by accusing the filmmaker of publicly bullying him and driving him close to suicide.


"Sushant's last film releases this week. I want to tell the snob and elitist critics right now, write sensibly. Don't act oversmart. Don't write rubbish. Be fair and sensible. Don't try your dirty tricks. You have ruined enough lives. Now stop. We'll be watching", tweeted Bhagat.



Bhagat though decided to hit back and said that her husband (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) had tried to deny him credit and driving him close to suicide.


As reported, Bhagat was referencing to the movie 3 Idiots where Abhijat Joshi and Rajkumar Hirani get prominently credited for the story and screenplay. They also bagged multiple awards for Best Story and Bhagat was only credited in the ending film credits.


"I was not given any of those story awards. They took them all. As a powerless newcomer I was bullied and was deeply affected", said Bhagat.
