India’s ongoing quest for premium streaming titles continues, led this month so far by Netflix’s Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) multi-year creative deal running alongside the return of yes Studios’ scripted format "Fauda" for a second season with Applause Entertainment for SonyLiv.

The first YRF project is four-part thriller, "The Railway Men", based on the Bhopal gas leak. The series is directed by newcomer Shiv Rawail. 

The second, "Maharaj", directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra ("Hichki") and marking the debut of actor Junaid Khan, is a David vs Goliath story set in the 1800s about a journalist and an expose that shakes the foundation of society. 

Details of the India version of "Fauda", "Tanaav", remain under wraps. 

These follow the August announcement during the ContentAsia Summit of an upsized season of Warner Bros Discovery/Banijay Asia’s "Star Vs Food" led by chef Ranveer Brar. "Star Vs Food: Survival" features Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Aparshakti Khurana, Mouni Roy and Nakul Mehta.
