Actor R Madhavan and author Chetan Bhagat got into a playful spat on Tuesday morning. Their witty interaction on Twitter soon turned into a playful banter that left fans in splits. It all began when the official account of Netflix India on Twitter asked its audience whether they like books over movies. Responding to the tweet, Chetan Bhagat tweeted that he likes books penned by him and movies based on them.
R Madhavan soon responded and tweeted that he is biased towards films.
Hey Chetan…My bias is movies > books?❤️ https://t.co/gL6HLfG5Uz

The author responded, “Have you ever heard anyone ever say the movie is better than the book?” To which Madhavan quipped, “Yes, 3 Idiots”.
