The makers of a new historical period drama Panipat recently released its trailer. The upcoming film stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in lead roles. Directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar, Panipat is based on the third battle of Panipat of Indian history. According to the trailer reviews, Panipat has a major Sanjay Leela Bhansali hangover. It is said that the trailer much resembles Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic drama Bajirao Mastani (2015) that starred Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
The battle of Panipat
The trailer of Panipat opens by establishing the great Maratha Empire. Arjun Kapoor’s character Sadashivrao Bhau is handed over the Peshwa sword, making him the leader. Sanjay Dutt is seen in a ruthless look of Ahmad Shah Abdali who is the only king of Afghanistan who can conquer the Maratha empire. The trailer also introduces Kriti Sanon as the Maratha’s dutiful wife, Parvati Bai who can swing a sword if needed. Reportedly, India’s Most Wanted actor, Arjun Kapoor underwent a major body transformation for his look of a Maratha warrior in Panipat. He not only went bald for months but also lost a lot of weight to get into the skin of a warrior. The battle of Panipat is considered to be one of the largest and eventful battle fought in the 18th century, during the Mughal rule in India. It is reported to perhaps have the largest number of fatalities in a single day. It took place on January 14, 1971, near Delhi.
