Raajneeti screenplay goes to Oscar archives




Director Prakash Jha is elated after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences approached him to acquire the copies of the screenplay of his hit political thriller " Raajneeti" for their permanent core collection.

"I'm very happy and honoured that the Academy has requested me for the screenplay of 'Raajneeti'. Though Hindi cinema has its own tradition and form, it is always nice to be recognised internationally," Jha said in statement.

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world's premier movie-related organization and is best known for its annual Oscar awards celebration.

The scripts in their collection are made available to all for research purposes only and in the premises of their reading room.

Inspired by epic Mahabharata, "Raajneeti" is a political saga on northern India's murky electoral politics which gives a rare insight to the power equation and strained relationship within a political family made up of ensemble cast including actor Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee, Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar and Naseeruddin Shah among others.
