The “3 Idiots” distribution deal has been called off.The deal was between the film’s producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and distributors Indian Film Company for the worldwide rights of the film. However, nothing was agreed in writing. Later Chopra wanted the Indian Film Company to leave the audio rights of the film, as he wanted to sell them off to Sony. The Company agreed on the same and decided to reduce the value of the audio rights proportionately. Next Chopra wanted to sell the overseas and the home video rights to yet another party. Indian Film Company was then only left with the Indian theatrical rights and the satellite rights. Chopra once again changed his mind and decided to keep the India distribution rights with himself. The deal then carried no meaning and hence was called off. Till now, none of the parties have been willing to talk about what went wrong in the deal. The audio rights have ultimately been sold by Chopra to T-Series and not Sony for Rs.12 crore.
