The film was produced by BR Chopra and directed by Ravi Chopra and starred superstars like Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Vinod Khanna, Vinod Mehra, Hema Malini, Parveen Babi, Neetu Singh, Danny Denzongpa, Navin Nischol, and Simi Garewal.

As per the news reports, Amitabh Bachchan was also approached for this multi-starrer, but he rejected the film. 

'The Burning Train' took 5 years to complete shooting. The film was shot for 130 days with 5 cameras. Not only this, silver foil suits were brought for the main cast. With all this, the film became 4 hours long.

Talking about the budget of the film, as per the reports, this film was made with a budget of Rs 25-30 crores. However, it only collected Rs 6 crore at the box office. When you compare the budget and the box office collection, The Burning Train is the biggest flop of Bollywood.

This film also had to be shot in Delhi because the Rajdhani Express had to be shown leaving the Delhi station. It became very difficult to shoot this scene because around 1000 people had gathered to watch it. At the same time, 400 junior artists were also put on call for work for this film. Because of this, the budget of the film became very high. Over the years, The Burning Train gained cult status, and now it's among the most-watched films on television of the early 2000s.
