Vivek Agnihotri hits back at troll predicting The Delhi Files will fail like The Vaccine War: ‘Wahi haal hoga iska bhi’
Vivek Agnihotri humorously responded to a troll predicting failure for The Delhi Files, asserting that The Vaccine War was a financial success for them.
Vivek Agnihotri is all set to entertain the audience with his upcoming movie The Delhi Files – The Bengal Chapter. The filmmaker recently gave a savage reply to a troll who claimed that the fate of his new film would be similar to that of his previous film, The Vaccine War.

Vivek Agnihotri's savage reply
On Tuesday, an X user predicted the failure of The Delhi Files and wrote, “Bhai teri Vaccine War ka kya hua tha? Wahi haal hoga iska bhi” (Bro, remember what happened to your Vaccine War? The same will happen to this too). Vivek responded, “Wow! That’s great news because we made lots of money with it. We used that money to make The Delhi Files – Bengal Chapter. Love you, Suri the junkie.”
Some fans couldn’t stop laughing after seeing the filmmaker’s tweet. One comment read, “Sir ji, aise thode hi karte hain Suri ke saath” (Sir, you don’t do this to Suri (laughing emoji)). Another wrote, “Don’t get into these debates, sir… it will only distract you from your work. You made a valid point that as a more inclusive and puristic India we wish to build again, there is no place for any witch-hunting. But we also need to understand that this is how people react.” Another commented, “Wow, you gave Suri a good scolding…”
