Speaking about the film's screening in the US, Agnihotri said he wanted to showcase India’s scientific achievement to the world. He said, “I wanted to showcase this great scientific achievement of India on the world stage. India and the US collaborated and there was this mutual understanding and cooperation between the two countries, and we have worked a lot towards helping lots of underdeveloped countries.” “The film is a story of how our women and scientists got locked inside labs and sacrificed everything in order to make the vaccine. I wanted the younger generation to see a pure science victory film. so, therefore, we did not spend much time on COVID management and frontline workers, we focused more on the science and the vaccine,” he added further.
