"Ek
fauji
jab
jeeta
hai
toh
poori
shiddat
se
jeeta
hai,
aur
jab
marta
hai
toh
poori
izzat
se
marta
hai..."
–
these
lines
recited
by
Vivek
Oberoi
in
the
trailer
of
Verses
Of
War
gives
us
a
good
idea
of
what
we
can
expect
from
this
short
film
directed
by
Prasad
Kadam
and
Produced
by
FNP
Media.
In
the
film,
Vivek
plays
a
brave
soldier
from
the
Indian
army
who
loves
to
write
and
recite
poems.
The
trailer
gives
us
an
idea
that
Verses
Of
War,
unlike
most
other
short
films,
has
been
mounted
on
a
lavish
scale.
We
see
elaborate
action
scenes,
well-designed
sets
and
visuals
that
redefine
opulence.
The
trailer
leaves
a
great
impression
and
makes
the
audience
wanting
to
know
more
about
the
narrative.
Talking
about
his
character,
Vivek
Oberoi
says,
“Playing
an
Indian
army
officer
was
a
long-standing
dream
for
me
and
finally,
with
this
film
I
got
to
realize
it.
It’s
been
an
honour
playing
a
soldier
and
through
this
film,
I
wish
to
pay
a
tribute
to
all
those
brave
men
who
make
so
many
sacrifices
just
to
keep
us
safe.
'Verses
Of
War’
will
always
have
a
special
place
in
my
filmography.
It’s
a
film
that
I
will
always
be
proud
of.”
What
makes
the
film
unique
is
the
fact
that
it
shows
an
Indian
army
officer
and
a
Pakistani
army
officer
(played
by
Rohit
Bose
Roy)
having
conversations
about
war
and
peace.
Their
common
love
for
poetry
forges
a
bond
between
these
two
officers,
across
borders,
from
India
and
Pakistan.
Says,
Rohit
Bose
Roy,
“Love
for
one’s
nation
is
paramount
for
every
soldier.
But
when
you
transcend
boundaries
for
one’s
respect
&
honour,
is
when
you
feel
sheer
bliss
&
contended.”
He
adds,
“Elated
to
be
part
of
Verses
Of
War,
truly
proud.”
Director
Prasad
Kadam,
who
has
earlier
helmed
much
appreciated
short
films
like
'Chuha
Billi’
and
'Happy
Birthday’,
had
full
backing
of
his
producers,
FNP
Media
&
together
they
ensured
that
no
compromises
were
be
made
while
making
Verses
Of
War.
Says
Prasad
Kadam,
“I
am
very
happy
with
the
final
outcome
of
the
film,
as
the
film
on
the
Indian
army
needed
to
be
made
with
a
certain
amount
of
sensitivity,
which
I
am
sure,
is
there.”
Producer
Vikaas
Gutgutia
says,
“At
FNP
Media,
we
want
to
tell
stories,
which
connects
with
all
audiences
across

Verses
