It’s an enormous responsibility to retell the story of the fateful night of the Bhopal gas tragedy. The responsibility is only doubled when the project marks the foray of Yash Raj Films (YRF) into digital entertainment. But as The Railway Men drops online today, director Shiv Rawail says he didn’t feel apprehensive as he had the best guide in producer Aditya Chopra.
Rawail says Chopra took two years, nurturing and perfecting every beat of the script before the R Madhavan, Kay Kay Menon, Divyenndu and Babil Khan-starrer went on floors. “The one thing I know about my mentor, Aditya Chopra, is that he would never make anything that is not compelling enough for the audiences to watch. I think this is why YRF has managed to influence pop culture and shape the content choices of people for so many generations,” states the director.
