Helmed by Vivek, the film is slated to hit the theatres on the occasion of Independence Day 2023.
Based on a true story, the official announcement of the star cast is still awaited.
‘The Vaccine War’ will be released in 11 languages worldwide.
Speaking about the film Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri said, “When The Kashmir Files was postponed during 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.”
Moreover, he further added, “This will be India’s first pure science film about a bio-war we had no idea about.”
