This is not correct, localhost is not a group.
Default Ansible sets "localhost ansible_connection=local" so you do not
need this set in your inventory.
Since ansible_connection=local and not ssh you don't need to set
ansible_ssh_user/pass since it will not be using ssh, it will run the
command directly on the localhost in the current shell.
And since it shows permission issue, I include become: yes in the role as below
- hosts: localhost
become: yes
roles:
- Local_File
then i get the following error:
vmisra@ubuntu:/etc/ansible$ ansible-playbook vcenter_snaprestore.yml
[WARNING]: log file at /var/log/ansible.log is not writeable and we cannot

I am confused and this looks prety trivial thing but not sur to me what i am
missing?
As the error message say "sudo: a password is required", since you can't
run sudo without specifying a password you need to provide the sudo
password to Ansible.
To do that add -K or --ask-become-pass on the command line
ansible-playbook -K vcenter_snaprestore.yml
