Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri`s upcoming film, The Vaccine War`s trailer was launched in Mumbai today in the presence of the star cast including Nana Patekar, Pallavi Joshi, Sapthami Gowda, and others. During the launch event, Patekar was asked about parallel cinema and whether the film is a part of the category. The veteran actor took a dig at the `recent blockbuster films`.
At the event, Nana said, "That era of commercial and parallel cinema doesn’t exist anymore. After the advent of OTT, all the films got a platform. Toh parallel cinema ka daur raha nahin. Jo raha hai woh yeh hai ki aap kaunsa thought rakhte hai. Nowadays, certain kinds of films are becoming hits. Recently, a film became a huge hit. I went to watch it. Main woh film poori dekh nahin paa raha tha. Lekin woh film bahut chal rahi hai. Since it has worked, I feel that we’ll repeatedly make such films and compel viewers to like such films."
