Veteran Bollywood actors Anupam Kher and Ratna Pathak Shah have been roped in to play crucial roles in an upcoming web series titled ‘Trial by Fire’. The series is based on the bestseller Trial By Fire: The Tragic Tale of the Uphaar Fire Tragedy, written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy. The book is based on how the writer duo fought a legal battle for 19 years to get justice for their two children Unnati and Ujjwal who lost their lives among the 59 others in a tragic fire. 

 

The series stars Abhay Deol and Shilpa Shukla in leading roles. It also features Lokesh Aggarwal of Paatal Lok fame. Kher and Shah’s characters are yet to be revealed but are expected to be hard hitting and powerful roles. The series will stream soon on Netflix and is directed by Prashant Nair who recently directed the series ‘Made in Heaven’. Trial by Fire is produced by Endemol Shine India, which also backed the Pooja Bhatt starrer web series Bombay Begums.
