The actor, who is one of the most celebrated Indian actors in Hollywood, has now been signed on to BBC’s highly anticipated drama, Mrs Wilson. Making for a profoundly moving story, the upcoming show that is set in 1940s’ and 1960s’ London is inspired by the memoir of Ruth Wilson’s (an award-winning English actress, known for her performance in The Affair) grandmother and her family’s complicated history. Anupam will be part of an ensemble star cast that includes Ruth in the lead, Iain Glen (of the Game of Thrones and Delicious fame), Keeley Hawes (The Durrells and Ashes To Ashes) and Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter series and True Blood). If sources are to be believed, the actor will begin shooting for it in Northern Ireland and London by May 8.

Says Anupam, “Mrs Wilson is set in a very interesting background and follows a gripping storyline which had me hooked as I read it. Not to mention, it is great to be a part of such a talented star cast ensemble. I look forward to shooting in the next month.”

The actor has previously worked in popular shows like Sense8 and The Indian Detective.
