Actor Parambrata Chatterjee, who will be seen in the upcoming season of the streaming show 'Khakee: The Bengal Chapter', once thought of changing his name.
Over the years, the actor has essayed several characters of cops with varying shades, and it was time he thought of hanging the boots of the characters of cop. He made a vow to himself that if he is asked to play a cop for one more time, he would change his name on records to Iftikhar.
The actor attended the trailer launch of 'Khakee: The Bengal Chapter' in Kolkata recently, and said that he thought of doing so after the legendary actor in Hindi cinema, who is known for playing a cop in countless Bollywood films of the 1970s.
The actor said, "Before 'Khakee' was offered to me, I had firmly decided that if I played a cop one more time, I'd have to change my name from Param to Iftikhar, after the legendary 1960s actor known for his iconic police roles. Having portrayed a cop countless times across Bengali and Hindi films, I felt it was time to take a break".
