Anupam Kher and Vivek Agnihotri collaborate one more time for this week’s release The Vaccine War, which also stars Nana Patekar, Pallavi Joshi, and Raima Sen in crucial roles among many others. Kher shared his thoughts about being a part of the film on X. He wrote- “When @vivekagnihotri was making # TheVaccineWar there wasn’t any substantial role for me in it. It is primarily a women scientists film with the only male lead being played by the great #NanaPatekar !”

He added, “I wanted to be associated with this most important film of our times where #IndiaCanDoIt is the theme. Vivek offered me the role of the #CabinetSecretary as a special appearance! Proud to be part of this gem of a film. Releasing on 28th Sept worldwide! Hail women power.” Anupam Kher reflects on his journey In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the actor spoke about his nearly four decade long journey in cinema and said, “You continue to explore your horizons as an actor as you make your job difficult. I’m not one of those who’s going to be happy with whatever he has achieved. It’s not greed but trying to see what all you’re capable of. It’s only when you reach your 60s, you come to know the kind of person you are. I like the way I’ve dealt with my life. I also don’t allow other people to decide what my limits are.” He added, “I think human capabilities are limitless. You can achieve anything if you’re not worried about failure. It’s the fear of failure that stops us from finding our capabilities. At best, things will not go your way, but at least you’ll have the satisfaction that you tried your best.”
