This week, Bollywood sees the release of films of the varied genre. One of the films to be released this week is the multi-talented Rajkummar Rao starrer Newton. Today morning, everyone woke up to the great news about Newton being selected as India’s official entry for Academy Awards in 2018. While everyone associated with the film is very deservingly over the moon, we bring to you what went behind making this phenomenal film in the form of a video which speaks about ‘The making of Newton’s world’.
The video starts off with the extremely soft-spoken and superlative performer Rajkummar Rao speaking to the powerhouse performer Sanjay Mishra the real reason behind his name ‘Newton’. He explains that his parents had named him as ‘Nutan Kumar’, which happens to be his original name. Because ‘Nutan Kumar’ made him a laughing stock before everyone, he rechristened himself as ‘Newton’.
