Shashank Arora will soon be seen in scientific gangster comedy- Gangster Newton
Mumbai: After the groundbreaking success of the award winning meta comedy series ‘I Don't Watch TV’, TV Star Nakuul Mehta and his production company TIMBUKTU are back with a brand new web series – ‘Gangster Newton’ starring the ‘Titli’ star Shashank Arora playing the title character and lead protagonist.
Directed by the same director of ‘I Don't Watch TV’, Ajay Singh, ‘Gangster Newton’ falls into a completely different genre from IDWT - a scientific gangster comedy that talks about a genius who survives and thrives in the underworld purely by the only skill he has - Science. ‘Titli’ star Shashank Arora plays the chief protagonist in the series.
Talking about the latest offering from Timbuktu stable, producer and co-creator Nakuul Mehta says, "The digital platform is going through a very exciting time right now. There is scope for the web to become a completely different medium of story telling than what TV or film are. We firmly believe that web series can introduce new subjects and an exciting new cinematic language. Gangster Newton is our contribution in that direction."
Talking about casting Shashank and not headlining the show himself, Nakuul says, "We believe in bringing together a team that does justice to the subject as opposed to making content tailored to us as acting talents. We are producers first and we never lose sight of that. Shashank Arora is the most exciting talent in Bollywood right now. His raw energy, passion and commitement to his craft made him an obvious first choice for our Newton."
The creators at Timbuktu have launched the teaser of ‘Gangster Newton’ today which is sure to blow the audiences away.
Here is the trailer:
