Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has announced his next film, titled ‘The Vaccine War’, which will release on Independence Day next year in 11 languages. He took to social media on Thursday and shared the film’s poster which featured a vaccine bottle with the title written on it. He wrote, ‘Announcement: Presenting ‘The Vaccine War’ - an incredible true story of a war that you didn’t know India fought. And won with its science, courage and great Indian values. It will release on Independence Day, 2023. In 11 languages. Please bless us. #TheVaccineWar.’
In another tweet, he mentioned that for the first time ever an Indian film will release in 11 Indian languages. ‘At @i_ambuddha & @AAArtsOfficial it’s our humble initiative to help integrate Indian film industry as one. #BharatKaApnaCinema,’ he tweeted.
‘The Vaccine War’ will be based on the coronavirus vaccine made in India during the pandemic. It will be produced by his wife, actor Pallavi Joshi.
Earlier, the filmmaker had asked his fans to guess the title of the film by posting a fill-in-the-blank tweet. He wrote, ‘When Covid came, India had nothing to fight. We were blackmailed and left alone to die by the superpowers of medical infra. But our scientists, without resources, fought back like their dharma. We made fastest and the safest vaccine, created an infra every Indian can be proud of.’
Vivek Agnihotri’s last film ‘The Kashmir Files’ is this year's second-highest-grossing Bollywood film. It was based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in the 1990s.
