From the looks of it, the war epic is set in 1761, wherein the Maratha Empire had reached its zenith and their grip in Hindustan reigned supreme, however, there is one invader who has his eyes on the throne, and that is when Arjun Kapoor, who is playing the role of Sadashiv Rao Bhau leads a northern expedition in order to repel the invading forces of Ahmad Shah Abdali, ( Sanjay Dutt) who is playing the role of the King of Afghanistan.

Playing the role of Sadashiv Rao Bhau, Arjun Kapoor in his first look can be seen donning the traditional Maratha attire. Meanwhile,  Kriti Sanon looks quite majestic as Parvati Bai.
