We had recently reported that 'Newton' has been announced as India's official entry to Oscars 2018 under the Best foreign film category. However, all seems not oo well for Newton now. The film which has already been screened in several film festivals is now facing a sudden accusation of plagiarism. 

After the movie hit commercial screens, the reaction from the audience were quite unexpected. It was noted that Newton was filmed in the similar lines of the Iranina movie 'Secret Ballot'. Some went on to even accuse the newton team of ripping off Secret Ballot. Howeve, soon enough director Anurag Kashyap came int the picture and cleared the air. Anurag kashyap contacted the producer of Secret Ballot and  sent him the link to Newton Movie. Marco Muller, the producer of Secret Ballot went to comment that there was no hint of plagiarism in Newton, even though both the movies have the same theme. 

Anurag Kahsyap posted the screenshots of his conversation with producer Muller, to defend 'Newton'.
