After winning hearts as the local doctor in Gram Chikitsalay, Amol Parashar is eager for audiences to see him in a completely different avatar in his next series, The Bureaucrat. The actor says the title of the Amazon MX Player show is still tentative. “I heard they might go with a Hindi title. I have tried the name out with my friends, and none of them could remember it. Someone is calling it Diplomat; my own mother is asking me, ‘When is that Aristocrat series coming?’ It was originally called The Fake Bureaucrat,” he says.
