After doing Hollywood movies like The Big Sick and Silver Linings Playbook, Bollywood’s ace actor Anupam Kher will now appear in a television series, ‘Bellevue’. The show is a character-driven medical drama that follows the new director of Bellevue Hospital, whose maverick approach disrupts the status quo while always prioritizing patient care. Anupam will be seen essaying the role of Dr. Anil Kapoor, one of the oldest doctors at the hospital in the upcoming NBC series. He believes the hospital needs to change but does not feel he needs to change his ways.

Kher will be reuniting with his ‘Sense8’ co-star Freema Agyeman for the show, said a statement, "I'm excited to be part of this project. Bellevue is anticipated as the next big thing in international television," Anupam said, adding, "As an actor, it helps me widen my horizons and also gives me an opportunity to be a part of world-class talent. Looking forward to the shoot."

According to a portal, the show is written by David Schulner. The Bellevue drama is produced by Eric Manheimer, MD, the former medical director at New York City's Bellevue Hospital and author of the memoir Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital which inspired the series.
