As The Vaccine War nears its release, Vivek Agnihotri is adding to the excitement of the audience by unveiling a glimpse of different roles in the movie. Recently, the filmmaker shared a glimpse of Raima Sen’s role in the movie.
On Saturday, Vivek Agnihotri took to his Twitter and shared a glimpse of Raima Sen’s intense role as Science Editor of The Daily Wire, Rohini Singh Dhulia. In the clip, Riama Sen can be seen essaying the role of a Journalist who thinks India can’t make their own vaccine to fight Covid-19 and encourages people to think that India needs foreign vaccines because it is not capable of making their own.
Sharing the video, Vivek Agnihotri wrote, “INTRODUCING: Raima Sen as Rohini Singh Dhulia, Science Editor, The Daily Wire, in a role you will love to hate. 5 DAYS TO GO! #TheVaccineWar #ATrueStory releasing worldwide on 28 September 2023. “
Netizens also reacted to the clip and heaped praise in the comment section. One of the comments read, “Riama Sen’s casting looks perfect.” Another wrote, “Curious to watch the whole film. Vivek Ji must have done a great job.” Another wrote, “refreshing to see Raima Sen but may end up hating her for playing Wire’s journalist.”
Riama Sen earlier opened up on how she prepared for her role and told FirstPost in an interview, “I met Vivek Agnihotri and he explained the role to me. He told me people wouldn’t love me for this role but they would’ve been able to ignore me. In life, there’s the good cop and there’s the bad cop, so I play the bad cop. He asked me to play my role honestly believe in what I was doing and let the audience decide. It was challenging for me as an actor to play a negative role honestly and convincingly.”
Helmed by Vivek Agnihotri, The Vaccine War stars Nana Patekar, Raima Sen, Pallavi Joshi, Sapthami Gowda, and Anupam Kher among others in key roles. The film will tell the story of the crisis time when India developed the vaccine. Produced by Pallavi Joshi and I Am Buddha, the film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on September 28 in theatres.
