Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 9 (ANI): The buzz around R. Madhavan and Kay Kay Menon-starrer series ‘The Railway Men’ has not gone yet.

The YRF series, which was released on Netflix in November 2023, has emerged as one of the most successful Indian shows on the streaming giant, read a statement shared by the team of ‘The Railway Men’.

Speaking about the same, Akshaye Widhani, CEO, Yash Raj Films, said, “The Railway Men has become a landmark global success story and it is an extremely proud moment for India and its content.

This feat motivates us to set stiffer goals for us to chase down and create some more history together. To witness the impact that The Railway Men has had on audiences, how emotionally charged reactions have been for this poignant story is the biggest reward for us.”
