Rajkummar Rao, who is on an award-winning spree, has now added another prestigious trophy to his shelf by bagging ‘Entertainer of the Year’ award at the Outlook Social Media Awards 2018 ceremony held in Delhi recently. The powerhouse performer bagged the honour for his stupendous performance in the critically-acclaimed movie, Newton selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars 2018.
The coming-of-age satire had impressed several critics and B-town influencers who raved about the poignant film, brilliant subject and superlative performances by the cast including Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra and Anjali Patil.

Through a vigorous process of research, voting and jury, the Outlook team has chosen Rajkummar Rao for the prestigious and much deserving honour, as he has proved his mettle as an actor and an inspiration for the aspiring young actors.
Rajkummar Rao says, “Newton will always be a special film. The movie not just won several awards, including a National award recently, but it was also a great experience working with everyone associated with it. The content-driven movie has set a benchmark for several filmmakers to create many more Newtons.”
Among the prestigious awards that Rajkummar had won last year includes two Filmfare awards – Critic Award for Best Actor (Trapped) and Best Supporting Actor for Bareilly Ki Barfi, followed by two major awards – Best Actor (for Trapped) & Best Supporting Actor (for Bareilly Ki Barfi) at the ‘Power Brands Bollywood Film Journalists Awards’ (PB-BFJA), Critics Choice for Best Actor for Newton at Hello!
