Speaking about the film Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri earlier 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.” On September 5, ‘The Vaccine War’ created history by becoming the first Indian movie to have a song launch at Times Square. 

The film’s title song ‘Shristhi se pehele’, which comprised of Shlokas from Rigveda, describing the creation of the Universe was performed in the form of Kathak in New York.  At Times Square, actor Archana Joglekar and the students of her Dance academy gave a performance, which was choreographed by legendary Kathak maestro. The performance was witnessed by thousands of  New Yorkers from all walks of life.  The film is slated to release worldwide on September 28. (ANI)
