Rajkummar Rao begins shooting for Amit Masurkar's 'Newton'

Mumbai: Coming out of his 'Aligarh' mould, Rajkummar Rao has embarked on a new cinematic journey to bring alive 'Newton' on the silver screen. He will be shooting in an area with 'almost no network'.

The actor, who found fame with critically-acclaimed films like 'Shahid', 'Citylights' and 'Queen', is earning accolades for portraying a journalist in Hansal Mehta's reality drama.

Amid all the appreciation, Rajkummar says it's time to go incognito and will be shooting in a no-network area for black comedy "Newton", which is directed by Amit Masurkar.

“In the midst of all the happy times with #Aligarh. I'm out for a month now. A new journey awaits with almost no network. Shooting time. Let's meet #Newton,” Rajkummar tweeted.

In 'Aligarh', his character picks up the pen to narrate the story of late Aligarh Muslim University academician Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, who was suspended from his job as a professor because of his sexual orientation.
