If you remember then The Railway Men was a series that was announced last year. On the anniversary of the catastrophic Bhopal Gas Tragedy, the newly announced series was to tell the story of those railway employees who served to save the people.
It was also set to mark the series debut of Babil Khan. Regardless, The Railway Men was scheduled to be released on the 2nd Of December 2022 ie today. But we are nowhere near that. In fact, after the announcement post we never really saw an update.
We realize that the past year has not been good for YRF. After the massive failure of Prithviraj and Shamshera, the production house is in dire need of a box office success that seems only as far as Pathaan.
The Railway Men had R Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyendu, and Babil Khan in the lead roles.
We realize that it is very normal for web series and films to get delayed. It is not just shooting but also editing that takes a lot of time. The problem with ‘The Railway Men’ is about the obscurity it has. We are not sure whether the show is even getting shot because the announcement post is the only update we ever saw.
Yash Raj Films must do something to revitalize the series because seeing the condition in theaters, digital space seems to be the rescue.
