Raima Sen will be seen in the film as a journalist. Speaking of her role, the actress said, “She is a journalist who has done her own research. She believes in facts that she has. It’s others’ perception that she may look like a villain, I did play a negative part in Mai, but that was very different. Given that I have a ‘good girl’ image, it’s very interesting to play these parts. It challenges you as an actor. Also, when audiences hate the villain, you know you have done a great job.”

On getting hate for her role Raima said, “The moment he announced, I was trolled. People unfollowed me on social media, some called me things. As an actor, my only response to the audience is that I can choose any role that I want to do if I feel that is challenging for me. I don’t understand why actors have to get trolled for taking up a film like this. This is also our profession. It’s not like I am biased to any party. I just did it as an actor,”

Speaking of taking up the role despite all the hate Raima said, “As an actor, I accepted the role because I felt it was challenging. People won’t expect me to play such a character, which is where the challenge comes from. People don’t see me as someone who would do a negative character.”

She concluded, “That’s the exciting part, that I got something new, something different. I could have carried on doing my shows. To get something completely different from anything that I have done creates impact for me. My last film in Bollywood a while ago. So, I needed something this impactful to be back”

The vaccine War hit cinema halls on 28th September 2023.
