 The script of Vipul Shah’s Namastey London has been chosen for the Academy of Motion Pictures library. The script will be there permanently for the reference of cinema students. The Akshay Kumar-starrer was a ribtickling romance of a Punjabi guy with a thorough-bred British. The academy has got in touch with Shah directly to procure the script. It seems more and more Bollywood films are on the international radar now. "Yes it seems as if we are on the radar as we didn’t make any particular attempts to reach out to the library, but out of the blue, I received this call requesting for the script. They are now keeping track of what’s happening in the Indian motion picture scene," the filmmaker said.
Namastey London will be one amongst the masterpieces like Finding Nemo, Million Dollar Baby and The Passion of the Christ that have gotten this honour. Before this, biggies like Devdas, Kal Ho Na Ho and Lagaan from the Indian film industry have been a part of this library.
The library has collections of more than 32,000 books, 1,800 periodical titles, 60,000 screenplays, lobby cards, over 8 million photographs, over 300 manuscripts and other special collections relating to prominent industry individuals, studios and organisations, sheet music, music scores and sound recordings, production and costume sketches, artefacts and oral histories.
