Anupam, who is currently in New York, took to Twitter on Tuesday and wrote: " Work starts in New York City. The series I am working in is called 'New Amsterdam'. It is a medical drama, which premiers on September 25 at 10 pm on NBC. I play doctor Ajay Kapoor, a Neurosurgeon in it."

Inspired by Bellevue, the oldest public hospital in America, the series follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin played by Ryan Eggold, the institution's newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care.
