"New Amsterdam" is inspired by Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in America. It follows the brilliant and charming doctor Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold), who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care.
Anupam is playing Vijay Kapoor, a doctor. The show premiered on September 25 and has had a strong start in ratings.
