VIVEK AGNIHOTRI SHARES HIS HAPPINESS

Vivek Agnihotri, elated to bring forth a unique story, shared his excitement and said, "When The Kashmir Files was postponed during the COVID-19 lockdown, I started researching 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 the fastest, cheapest, and safest vaccine. I thought this story must be told so that every Indian can feel proud of their country.” Moreover, he added further, "This will be India’s first pure science film about a bio-war we had no idea about."

Meanwhile, Agnihotri’s last critically acclaimed outing, The Kashmir Files, went on to become the highest Bollywood-grossing film of 2022 before it started to face competition from other major releases. After The Kashmir Files, the director had previously announced the third installment of his anthology series, The Delhi Files. The Delhi Files is slated to be released in 2024 and is speculated to revolve around the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.
