Vivek Agnihotri’s next release is The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter, which will clash at the box office with Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani’s War 2 on Independence Day 2025.
On X (formerly Twitter), a netizen named Ashudeep Suri said that The Delhi Files will fail at the box office like his last movie The Vaccine War. When he wrote, “Bhai teri vaccine war ka kya hua tha? Wahi haal hoga iska bhi”, Vivek replied to him, “Wow! That’s a great news because we made lots of money with it. We used that money to make The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter. Love you Suri the junkie.”
Starring Nana Patekar, Pallavi Joshi, Raima Sen, Anupam Kher, Nivedita Bhattacharya, and Sapthami Gowda among others, The Vaccine War was released in 2023. Made in a budget of Rs 10 crore, the medical docudrama earned just Rs 14.70 crore worldwide and was a commercial failure. It was based on the development of Covaxin vaccince during the COVID-19 pandemic in India.
