Rohit Roy plays a Pakistani Army official in the short film, directed by Prasad Kadam
When Verses of War came his way, Rohit Roy was given the opportunity to choose the role he wanted to slip into — a Pakistani Army official or an Indian soldier who is taken prisoner of war [PoW]. The actor chose the former, intent on changing the way the army across the border is depicted on screen. “It was a tough call to play a Pakistani officer, considering how they are portrayed in Hindi films. Audiences dislike them. But in Verses of War, I wanted to overcome the audience’s hatred [for the character], and make them empathise with him. I chose this role because I wanted to prove to myself that I am a good actor,” says Roy.
