Vivek Agnihotri, renowned for his thought-provoking projects, has once again ventured into compelling territory after the resounding triumph of ‘The Kashmir Files’. The filmmaker recently unveiled the release date of his upcoming film, ‘The Vaccine War’, accompanied by a teaser featuring Nana Patekar in the lead role. The teaser's release has prompted widespread commendation from netizens and fans alike, praising Agnihotri for addressing an eye-opening subject.
Vivek Agnihotri's previous endeavor, ‘The Kashmir Files’, catapulted him to the echelons of successful directors. The film amassed substantial box office collections and also spurred debate as some labeled it a propaganda piece. Now, Agnihotri is set to explore a pertinent theme in ‘The Vaccine War’, examining the vaccine hysteria during the COVID-19 era. The film is poised to shed light on how individuals were compelled to take the vaccine amidst uncertainty about its efficacy. Despite doubts, they exhibited trust in the system, a narrative Agnihotri aims to capture vividly.
‘The Vaccine War’ is said to serve as a tribute to the medical professionals who played a pivotal role in making mass vaccination possible. Talking to ANI reportedly he had said, " When The Kashmir Files was postponed during the Covid lockdown, I started researching on it. Then we started researching with the scientists of ICMR & NIV who made our own vaccine possible. Their story of struggle and sacrifice was overwhelming and while researching we understood how these scientists fought a war waged against India not just by foreign agencies but even our own people. Yet, we won against superpowers by making fastest, cheapest and safest vaccine. I thought this story must be told so that every Indian can feel proud of their country."
India achieved a significant milestone by ensuring COVID-19 vaccines reached every household, particularly benefitting the underprivileged by offering them free of cost. This initiative propelled the nation to the forefront as the only country to execute such a comprehensive vaccination drive.
