New Delhi: The Christopher Nolan film ‘Oppenheimer’ opened in theatres last Friday and it has been making headlines ever since. Indian filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri took to social media to express his excitement about the overwhelming response to the science-based film Oppenheimer filling cinema halls. Overwhelmed with emotions, he also shared some fantastic news about his own film, ‘The Vaccine War’, co-produced by Pallavi Joshi, which will too be released in Kashmir.
‘Oppenheimer’ looks at J. Robert Oppenheimer's genius and his part in changing the course of World War II, which killed hundreds of thousands of people and caused mass panic.
In a beaming tweet, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri wrote, "BRILLIANT NEWS! Cinema halls were burnt and banned after 90s. It’s heartening to see the first film to fill houses like this is a science film.”
With great anticipation for the release of his own creation, ‘The Vaccine War,’ Vivek Ranjan Angihotri expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to showcase it in Kashmir.
He added, “I am glad that our science film #TheVaccineWar #ATrueStory will also release in Kashmir. I have been assured by Kashmiri youth & specially women that they will be proud to see India’s biggest scientific achievement on big screen.”
The region's tumultuous past has not deterred the filmmaker, as he sees this as a significant milestone for cinema in the area. The promise of having a science-based film like ‘The Vaccine War’ showcased in Kashmir holds a profound meaning for both the filmmaker and the audience. It symbolizes progress, change, and the triumph of knowledge over adversity.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is gearing up for ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’ and ‘The Vaccine War’.
