After directing epic historical movies like Lagaan and Jodhaa Akbar, Director Ashutosh Gowariker is all set to return with Panipat: The Great Betrayal. The film is reportedly based on the journey of Sadashivrao Bhau, the Commander-in-chief during the third battle of Panipat. The film will feature Arjun Kapoor in the lead role, portraying Sadashivrao Bhau. The film currently is done with principal photography and is in the post-production process. The film features Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon in lead roles alongside Arjun.
Panipat film promotions
The film has been in news ever since Ashutosh Gowariker dropped the first poster for it back in 2018. No promotional footage has been released for the film since then. Reportedly, a teaser for the film will kickstart promotions and is expected to drop in the last week of October. Interestingly, Kriti Sanon's film Housefull 4 is also scheduled to release on October 26.
