In the recent press meet to announce the nominations for writing in films by the SWA, screenwriter-director and jury member Saket Chaudhary said, "In bollywood big stars take away the credit of the writers. Sometimes the actors just give a couple of suggestions for the story but want to share the credit with the writer who has written the whole script. In such a case it becomes difficult for the writer to raise his voice."

Veteran screenwriter and SWA President Robin Bhatt said the writers have to learn to put their foot down and insist on demanding their credit instead of allowing their credit to be stolen.

Anjum Rajaballi, senior screenwriter, teacher, SWA Executive Committee member said that this matter cannot be emphasized enough and sharing of unfair credits can have long term damaging repercussions for the writers.

A writer gets royalty on his work till sixty years after his death and if the credit is incorrect in the film the writer gets cheated of his credit and money.
