Anupam Kher on not holding a meaty role in The Vaccine War

Taking to his X handle, Anupam Kher revealed how though he does not hold a meaty role in The Vaccine War, he felt it absolutely necessary to be a part of the story the film was trying to put across. He went on to elaborate how the film is primarily about women scientists and headlines the theme of "IndiaCanDoIt" - so when he was offered a special appearance in the film by Agnihotri, he was more than happy to oblige.
