The
makers
of
Action
Replayy
have
a
reason
to
smile.
After
all,
the
Library
of
the
Academy
of
Motion
Picture
Arts
&
Sciences
wants
the
screenplay
of
the
film
for
its
permanent
script
collection.
Producer-director
Vipul
Shah
got
intimation
on
this
regard
early
this
week
and
he
is
making
the
necessary
arrangements
to
ensure
that
a
copy
of
the
screenplay
reaches
Margaret
Herrick
library.
Confirms
Vipul,
"Yes,
they
have
shown
a
keen
interest
in
preserving
the
screenplay
of
Action
Replayy.
They
send
out
the
invites
for
those
films
which
they
need
for
research
purpose.
Even
earlier,
a
copy
of
screenplay
of
Namastey
London
was
shared
with
them
when
they
had
expressed
their
desire
for
that.
I
am
glad
that
they
feel
Action
Replayy
is
worthy
enough
for
students
of
cinema
to
read
and
learn."
Screenplay
of
Action
Replayy
has
been
written
by
Vipul
Shah
and
Aatish
Kapadia.
While
the
film
has
managed
to
make
an
impression
at
the
Academy,
ironically
in
'apna
Bollywood',
many
critics
were
far
away
from
being
kind
to
this
Akshay
Kumar-Aishwarya
Bachchan
film.
"It
only
shows
how
far
detached
are
quite
a
few
of
our
esteemed
critics
from
grasping
the
real
content
of
cinema," shrugs
away
Vipul,
"Academy
has
shown
so
much
interest,
those
from
the
audience,
who
have
seen
the
film,
have
liked
it
but
then
some
really
scathing
comments
from
the
critics
did
come
as
a
shocker.
Now
that
the
screenplay
is
going
to
the
Oscars
library,
it
is
definitely
a
redemption
of
sorts."
