After winning many international accolades for Newton, Manish Mundra is thrilled with the film’s theatrical release slated for August 18. The founder of Drishyam Films and the producer of Newton says, “This is the moment we’ve been waiting for all year. We have already travelled the whole world with Newton, but there is no feeling like bringing it home to our Indian fans. After receiving so much love for our films Waiting and Dhanak last year from both critics and audiences, we are now very excited to get the reactions for Newton.”
