Vivek Agnihotri's Film Based On Vaccine War Took One Year Of Research

After Kashmir Files, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's next is based on India's fight against the covid pandemic and how eventually a home-grown vaccine came into effect. Titled The Vaccine War, the film will be bankrolled jointly by Pallavi Joshi and Abhishek Agarwal Arts.

"Presenting 'THE VACCINE WAR' - an incredible true story of a war that you didn't know India fought. And won with its science, courage & great Indian values. It will release on Independence Day, 2023. In 11 languages. Please bless us," a tweet from the filmmaker reads.

A press statement from the team reads, "Now with us as a country undergoing a ton of trauma in the last two years. When the world was still struggling to form a formula, India hit it out of the park by becoming one of the few countries to achieve success with vaccines. Several Indian scientists and doctors gave their sweat and blood to make sure that the vaccine was made. IamBuddha (Vivek's non-profit organisation) and the team have been researching and studying the same for a year and now are ready with all the valid documents."

Elaborating on the same, Vivek Agnihotri says "We have been working really hard on researching everything that went wrong when our country struggled during the pandemic. Now we are ready with one year of research, 52 people who spend their days and nights executing it and summing it up in 8000 pages".

Meanwhile, The Kashmir Files has been screened at the International Film Festival of India in Goa last night with  Abhishek Agarwal, the film's producer, and actor Anupam Kher gracing the occasion.
