A very interesting announcement for the OTT world that has left people intrigued is YRF’s entry into this zone of content. YRF has announced its first maiden project for OTT titled The Railway Men. The series is based on the Bhopal gas tragedy and will see the coming together of some great talent pool which includes Kay Kay Menon, Divyendu, R Madhavan and Babil Khan.

The Railway Men will be directed by debutant Shiv Rawail, who is the son of filmmaker Rahul Rawail (Love Story, Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya fame) and the show will start streaming from December 2022.

A spokesperson at YRF described the intent behind the show and explained, “The Bhopal Gas Tragedy is the world’s worst industrial disaster that has impacted scores of people since the tragedy struck the city 37 years ago. At YRF, we are constantly trying to develop the best compelling stories for the audience and this is our tribute to the unsung heroes of the tragedy who, despite saving thousands of lives on that fateful day, are still unknown to people across the world.”

People obviously have a lot of expectations given the theme of the show.

Hope you have shown some courage to show true political facts & bitter truths of that time including Rajiv Gandhi,Arjun Singh's & Anderson's role else it's useless to watch because it doesn't help those victims who are not yet got any justice.
