‘Trial By Fire’ is inspired by the bestseller book, "Trial by Fire: The Tragic Tale of the Uphaar Fire Tragedy" by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy. The series is produced by Endemol Shine India and House of Talkies.
It is helmed by Prashant Nair, who has called Neelam and Shekhar as “inspiring examples”. He had said, “What happened to them and the way they have been forced to fight for justice is truly horrific and, unfortunately, there are countless other people today in similar situations. We are grateful to Netflix for being such courageous partners in telling this story.”
