Last month,
Anupam Kher had announced on Twitter that he will essay the role of Dr
Anil Kapoor in Bellevue, a new American Medical Drama Series.
He took to
Twitter and had written, “Anupam Kher To Play 'Dr Anil Kapoor' In New American
Medical Drama Series.”

Soon after, Anil Kapoor responded with asking for a royalty for using his name, in jest of course. He had said, “Want royalty for using my name @AnupamPKher or wait for a Legal notice..”

Now, interestingly, Kher’s name stands changed on the show. His latest Instagram post has him dressed as a doctor and the caption reads, “Dr. Vijay Kapoor.:) #Neurologist #Pilot @nbc #MedicalDrama#TVSeries (sic).”
Evidently, Anil
Kapoor wouldn’t be able to demand royalty from the actor anymore.
Anupam Kher and
Anil Kapoor's friendship goes way back. Both actors have collaborated on many
Bollywood films like Om Jai Jagadish, Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai, Hum Aapke Dil
Mein Rehte Hain and Deewana Mastana among others.
Let’s wait and watch to see what Anil Kapoor has to say about the change in
name.
