Meanwhile, Ajay also replied and said, "Thank you Akki @akshaykumar for the nicest words on my 'poetic' side. The praise feels good especially when it comes from a friend & esteemed colleague. I also need to thank @manojmuntashir for the poetry -Sipahi."

"Whatever little talent I have will always remain grateful to you @akshaykumar sir, for letting me write for you time and again. I am glad #Sipahi is narrated so well by @ajaydevgn sir and is touching millions of hearts already. More power to our soldiers."

In the video, Ajay is seen reciting the poem Sipahi by Manoj Muntashir. The martyred soldier in the poem talks about sending messages to his family, younger brother, sister and even his lover from the afterlife. He tells his loved ones that the death of a martyr is the one he had always wanted.
