Rab Ne script may be part of Oscar librar

MUMBAI: The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (Oscar) Library has made a request with Yash Raj Films for the script of its recently released Rab Ne Bana
di Jodi to be part of its permanent collection.

The sensitivity of the screenplay and the unusual love story attracted the attention of the staff at the library. The invitation is the recognition that the screenplay of the film
stands out from the crowd not just among Indian movies but movies released worldwide, a Yash Raj Films spokesperson said on Thursday.

"As the movie goes from strength to strength at the box office, it is a tribute to the entire team which made the film such a refreshing change for jaded audiences," the spokesperson added.

The scripts in the collection reside at the Margaret Herrick Library and are made accessible for research purposes only; students, filmmakers, writers and actors are among the regular patrons. Screenplays may only be viewed in the library; they do not circulate. Also, no screenplay is allowed to be photocopied, the spokesperson said.

The film written and directed by Aditya Chopra stars Shah Rukh Khan and Anoushka Sharma in the lead.
