Ashutosh Gowariker is all set to present another period film after his last Mohenjo Daro which is based on the Third Battle of Panipat. Titled Panipat, the film stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in pivotal roles.
The film was announced with the release of its first poster and it depicts a sword with a hand on its hilt with a yellow, orange and golden colour theme used to channel the undertones of the war setting of the film with a tagline of the film, ‘The Great Betrayal.’
Ashutosh Gowariker said of the choices for the cast, “I have shared screen space with Sanjay in Naam, which was a memorable co-acting experience and now it will be great to direct such a versatile and immensely talented actor as him. What impresses me most about Arjun, apart from his fine performances, is his dynamism. He has played double roles twice, and he has portrayed an action hero as well as a lover boy. I needed someone really beautiful as well as a good performer, and Kriti is both. The eclectic combination of these three is a first for me, and I look forward to this exciting journey with them called Panipat.”
Panipat is set to release on December 6, 2019.
