I have copied zipped file from the playframework.org website and unzipped it at a location. I have inserted it in my .bashrc profile to set up as PATH environment.

Got the answer! Move the unzipped play folder into opt directory by typing
sudo mv play-1.0.1 /opt/play
and then give another command
source /etc/profile
And now one can run play command from anywhere in the shell..
