New Delhi: The new limited series 'Trial By Fire', which centres on the 1997 Uphaar Cinema fire and its repercussions on the victims' families and the surrounding community, has just released its trailer.

The 'Trail By Fire' trailer depicts the nightmarish journey of parents who fight for justice for more than 20 years against tough opponents.

In June 1997, 59 people died and 100 others were injured in the Uphaar Cinema tragedy, which happened when a fire engulfed the South Delhi movie theatre. Many people have had this incident permanently seared in their memories for almost 20 years. 

Abhay Deol revealed a few details about his character in the series before the trailer was released.

“Possibly the hardest role I’ve ever had to portray. I’ve done true stories before but this one has to be the most tragic. A fire that left a trail of tragedies in its wake. Tragedies Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy had to deal with over the two-plus decades. Follow their journey in Trial By Fire,” he wrote on Instagram.
