The Girl On The Train is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta and is the Hindi remake of 2016 Hollywood film of the same name starring Emily Blunt in the lead role. The American film was also based on the book by British author Paula Hawkins.
While interacting with Variety, Ribhu stated, "I always wanted to explore this genre and loved this unique story. There is plenty to relate to both in terms of the emotions and mysteries that I was able to delve into in this thriller – rejection, loneliness, voyeurism, daily commutes on which we see and don’t see things."
The Girl On The Train was set to be a theatrical release in 2020 but delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
