Nana Patekar to lead Vivek Agnihotri's ‘The Vaccine War’

New Delhi: The shoot of the much-awaited and anticipated film ‘The Vaccine War’ by Vivek Agnihotri has finally come to an end, and he has also revealed the leads of the film.

While the makers were keeping the cast of the film a secret, Vivek has recently revealed that Sapthami Gowda, who played a vital role in ‘Kantara’ has been roped in for ‘The Vaccine War’. And now the new announcement is that Nana Patekar is going to lead the film ‘The Vaccine War’.

Talking about the same, Vivek said, “At ‘I Am Buddha’ we are committed to working with the best talent of Indian Cinema. For the vaccine war, the protagonist had to be powerful, credible and underplayed. And when we were thinking to cast somebody whose performance is unquestionable the only name we thought of was Nana Patekar. He is one of that rare breed of actors who in any role shines and who has never compromised with his craft, with his performances”.

He further added “I am extremely glad that Pallavi and I made this choice of Nana Patekar leading the film. He has given one of the most powerful, credible, and amazing performances of his career. He surrendered himself to the script and the character which is a very very rare quality among stars. And we are so happy and delighted that Nana Patekar is acting in one of the most important films of our times. Most inspiring & honest film of our times, the most sincere and truthful film of our times "The Vaccine War”.

The flick is slated to release on August 15 in 11 languages. (UNI)
