Apparently Rajeev will now wear a cropped wig to look the bureaucrat's part.
'All I'll say is I won't look wrong for the part,' said Rajeev, who has a lot of preparation to do for 'Return Gift'. He will have to meet bureaucrats from both sides of the border to understand the intricacies of across-the-border diplomacy.
