'Newton', was India's official Oscar entry. The character Newton was an idealist, but Rajkummar was able to empathize with his ideas and ideology. It was planned to be a low-budget film, yet it did extremely well at the box office. He portrayed Newton Kumar, an upright government clerk dispatched to a Naxal-infested district in Chhattisgarh for electoral duties.
