The series, produced by Yash Raj Films' newly launched digital arm YRF Entertainment, is directed by debutant Shiv Rawail.

More than five lakh people were affected and over 15,000 were killed after methyl isocyanate gas leaked from the pesticide plant of Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) on the intervening night of December 2 and December 3, 1984, which was then located on the outskirts of Bhopal.

"The Railway Men" is expected to premiere in December this year.

Babil will also be seen in the Netflix film "Qala", directed by Anvitaa Dutt of "Bulbbul" fame.
