Newton's presenter is Aanand L Rai, who is also the co-producer of Kashyap's next 'Mukkebaaz'. Also, Kashyap is set to direct 'Manmarziya', another Rai production. The film was initially helmed by Sameer Sharma and starred Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar. It was shelved and Rai wants to start it afresh with Kashyap. The link effect at work?
