Speaking about The Vaccine War, 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." Moreover, he further added, "This will be India's first pure science film about a bio-war we had no idea about." The Vaccine War will be facing a big Bollywood clash with John Abraham's upcoming film 'Tariq' which is also based on a true story.
