The director further added that why he thought Rajkummar was the perfect choice for the main role. Masurkar said, “I thought of Rajkummar because the character was somebody, for which I needed a person, who could pull of a huge range. Plus I needed an actor of his age. The amount of energy he could send to the role I couldn’t think of anybody else. Raj is extremely dedicated guy. He is with you one hundred per cent. And, I would love to work with him in more films.”

The director also said that the movie will be a visual delight. “Visually the film is going to be extremely special because it is shot in naxalites area. We have never seen anything that close on the big screen before. It’s very difficult to shoot a film which is about one day in a jungle, where you have no control over light. You have to shoot a particular scene exactly at that time. So, you have to maintain continuity,” he said.

‘Newton’ stars National Award winning actors Rajkummar Rao and Geetanjali Thapa.
