Anurag Basu 's take on love and longing in a city – Metro – has found a place in the Oscar Library, with the Academy asking for a copy of the screenplay for its record.
The film, which stars Shilpa Shetty , Konkona Sen Sharma , Kay Kay Menon , Shiney Ahuja , Kangana Ranaut , Sharmaan Joshi , Dharmendra and Nafisa Ali , was released in theatres a couple of weeks ago.
“Life in a Metro, whose script too has been written by Basu, has been invited by the Motion Picture Academy's prestigious library to be part of its sprawling script collection,” a release from producers UTV said.
‘Metro’ will be amongst the films like ‘Finding Nemo’, Million Dollar Baby’ and ‘The Passion of the Christ’ that have got this honour, it said.
The library has collections of more than 32,000 books, 1,800 periodical titles, 60,000 screenplays, lobby cards, over 8 million photographs, more than 300 manuscript and other special collections relating to prominent industry individuals, studios and organisations, music scores and sound recordings, production and costume sketches, artifacts and oral histories.
