Vaccine War director startling claim. More than a year has passed since the release of "The Kashmir Files," a film that stirred considerable controversy nationwide. Now, director Vivek Agnihotri is on the verge of unveiling his next project, "The Vaccine War." This film is being hailed as India's pioneering venture into the realm of bio-science cinema, and it sheds light on the scientists pivotal in the development of the indigenous BBV152 vaccine, more commonly known as Covaxin.

In a recent interview, Vivek Agnihotri raised concerns about what he perceives as a deliberate silence or "embargo" from the industry regarding "The Vaccine War." He pointed out that when his earlier works like "Buddha in a Traffic Jam" and "The Tashkent Files" were released, they received attention from numerous reviewers on platforms like YouTube. Even with limited resources, "The Tashkent Files" managed to secure screenings in 175 theaters. Agnihotri observed that in the present era of easy accessibility to information and opinions, a mere mention of a topic like "Jawan" can attract thousands of reviews on YouTube. Yet, despite his track record and the significance of "The Vaccine War," he noted a distinct lack of discussion around the film, suggesting that financial influences and a deliberate embargo are responsible for this silence, even after his previous work, which generated a considerable impact.

In this cinematic journey, Nana Patekar portrays the head scientist leading the race against time, while Pallavi Joshi shines as his dedicated second-in-command. Raima Sen takes on the role of a journalist weaving a narrative to discredit India's efforts and promote foreign vaccines, and Anupam Kher appears as the Prime Minister. The film is poised for a grand release on September 28, 2023, promising to captivate audiences with its gripping portrayal of this remarkable scientific endeavor.
