After 'The Kashmir Files', Vivek Agnihotri announces 'The Vaccine War'

Bollywood filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri of 'The Kashmir Files' fame has announced a new project. His next is going to be a multi-lingual release titled 'The Vaccine War'.

Making the project official on Thursday, he tweeted, 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.

The film, which will likely support the NDA government's stance on not importing mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna, will hit the screens on Independence Day, 2023 in 11 languages, including Telugu.

For the first time ever an Indian film will release in 11 Indian languages. It’s our humble initiative to help integrate the Indian film industry as one, the director added.

It seems the movie is going to talk about how a narrative was sought to be created that India was making a blunder by approving vaccines like Covaxin. Even Covishield faced some stiff opposition. There was an attempt to influence the Modi government into approving and importing China's Covid vaccines as well.
