Gurgaon's district administration is going rather filmi. After appointing actor Rajkummar Rao as the brand ambassador of today's MCG elections, the district administration has now decided to treat all officials who are on election duty with Rajkummar's film 'Newton'.
Special screening on October 1
Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh tells us, "Rajkummar Rao is playing a presiding officer in Newton, and now, the film is India's official entry to the Oscars. So, we have decided to organise a special screening of the film on October 1 for all the officials who are on election duty."
The officials tell us that not many films have been screened for the district commissioner staff. In August, the district administration had held a special screening of 'Toilet- Ek Prem Katha' for their panchayat staff.
'Agar aap kuch nahin badlenge, toh kuch nahin badlega'
Earlier this week, the Deputy Commissioner had invited Gurgaon boy Rajkummar to appeal to voters at Cyber Hub. At the event, the actor had asked Gurugrammers to take a pledge to go out and vote, and Singh had quoted a dialogue from the film and said, "When I meet people and appeal to them to vote, they ask me, 'Why should I vote?' I tell them that we have to be the change-bearers. I want to tell Gurugrammers, ki agar aap kuch nahin badlenge, toh kuch nahin badlega."
