Kriti Sanon further added that the pace in historical, period movies always has slow beginnings, unless it’s a love story, which is easier with just a few characters and life revolving around them. In Panipat, there’s so much that is happening that there was nothing that the makers could have let go, which wasn’t important or irrelevant. Kriti Sanon also said that she has been getting a great response for her character and it took time for her to sink in it. It was her first historical, she wanted to make sure that it is convincing and people don’t see Kriti in it.
