Chetan suggests the middle path

4. They don"t have to actually change the prints running in the theatres or incur any costs there. They can change it in the official records and in the DVD/Satellite as possible.

If they do this, me and all FPS readers will be happy. If they don"t, it is their choice.

I don"t really want to talk about anything else in this matter. I thank you all for your support. I"ve gained a lot of credibility and love, all of us stood up for what we believed in, and I think my country knows who wrote this film"s story now anyway.

It remains to be seen weather the 3 Idiots team including Vidhu Vindo Chopra, Aamir Khan and Raj Kumar Hirani agree to the solution suggested by Bhagat and shake hands with him or go for the legal action which they have threatened Bhagat with. In any case 3 Idiots has got enough publicity and become the highest grosser in the history of Bollywood.
