Rajkummar Rao's film has also been selected as India's official entry for the Oscars. Sharing his experience of being part of Newton, he told NDTV.com: "I genuinely liked the script. It spoke about something relevant, and something that is a new world for me. And Newton as a character was somebody so idealistic, with so much honestly and sincerity that I could relate to his passion. All he wanted to do was change a few things in his own world."

On Friday, Newton clashed with Shraddha Kapoor's Haseena Parkar and Sanjay Dutt's Bhoomi.
