"Pulitzer Over Pan Masala Show": Chetan Bhagat To Madhavan In 'Twitter Spat'
NDTV
Itstarted when Chetan Bhagat responded to a tweet from Netflix India...
It all started with a simple tweet and escalated into a Twitter spat of epic proportions. On Monday, author Chetan Bhagat and actor Ranganathan Madhavan had their followers reaching for the popcorn as they traded insults on the public platform. Their burns, however, were soon revealed to be a publicity stunt for the new Netflix show Decoupled. In the show, Madhavan plays the second-bestselling author in India, while Chetan Bhagat, in a special appearance, plays himself. The two are shown to be rivals - and that is pretty much the role they played on Twitter yesterday. YES! 3 Idiots???????????????????? https://t.co/gciVNcobiA If you love books so much, why are you in my new show? Decoupled streaming only on Netflix.???????????????? https://t.co/0LV9ReLaU8 HAHAHAHAHA, what an unsubtle plug, maybe it's just me, I prefer a Pulitzer over a pan masala branded award show. https://t.co/fdJb7RZBuF Well I prefer to be known as Chetan Bhagat over being known as Farhan from that one movie. https://t.co/NqdR8kdJBf I would say just like your books, you are also better on the big screen! Hahahahaha.. actually you were Brilliant bro. ❤️❤️❤️❤️???????????????????? https://t.co/NziHuMWQte Hey if course it's scripted .????????????????????????.. @chetan_bhagat is my bro… we are just doing the publicity drill. ????????????❤️❤️???????? https://t.co/DoRe3ud2Xy Brilliant ???? Of course it's marketing but it's still funny. So @ActorMadhavan roasting Chetan bhagat is such a pleasure to read. Yes I am biased towards maddy and don't care if it's a scripted banter ????
It started when Chetan Bhagat responded to a tweet from Netflix India which asked people to choose between books and movies. Chetan Bhagat responded to the tweet and said "My books, and the movies based on them," and that in turn led Madhavan to say that he preferred movies over books.
Chetan Bhagat replied: "Have you ever heard anyone ever say the movie is better than the book?" To this, Madhavan shot back: "YES! 3 Idiots."
