The Indian Doctor focuses on Bhaskar's character Dr Prem Patel, who moves to Wales in the 1960s.
"I'm just about to start filming on a five-part drama for the BBC where I play an Indian doctor who ends up in a small Welsh mining village in 1963," Bhaskar told PA.
"Part of the fun of this is his take on Britain and this little Welsh mining village in the '60s and their take on him, so it's kind of fun."
The show will air as part of the BBC's celebration of the 1960s.
