Whether it's movies or web series, sequels are often faced with comparisons and more so scrutiny over being 'not-so-good' as the first or the prequels. As Amol Parashar steps into the second sequel of Gram Chikitsalay, also starring Dinesh Lal Yadav and Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, marking his second-ever sequel-based format after Triplings, he sat with mid-day for a brief chat and decoded the 'trap' that seasons face.
Amol Parashar on comparisons of sequels
