Newton is about democracy and voting rights: Rajkummar Rao 

Actor Rajkummar Rao is excited about his new film ‘Newton,’ which he says is a "truly Indian" film. "’Newton’ is a very Indian film. I think after a long time people will see an Indian film in its true form. As in the story, the character, it is set in the heartland of India but it’s purely like how there was a time when Hrishikesh Mukherjee used to make sweet Indian films," the actor said.

Directed by Amit Masurkar, ‘Newton’ is about a rookie clerk on election duty in a conflict-ridden jungle of Central India who tries his best to conduct free and fair voting. Rajkummar says the film talks about democracy and voting rights with a satirical tone.

"We shot in jungles for that. It’s a one day story of a guy called Newton Kumar and the backdrop is election. How the most powerful tool we have as citizens is vote, but how we don’t utilise it. We really don’t give importance to it. It talks about democracy, it’s a satire, a black comedy," he said.
