Gowariker Announces ‘Panipat’ Starring Arjun Kapoor & Sanjay Dutt

Here’s the first look poster of Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Panipat’.

After the dismal run of the Hrithik Roshan starrer Mohenjo Daro at the ticket window, Gowariker has now announced another period drama, Panipat based on the third battle of Panipat, where the Maratha Empire faced defeat at hands of the invading Afghan forces of Ahmad Shah Durrani.

From Padmaavat to Manikarnika to Kesari, B-Town seems to be riding on the wave of historicals and war epics.

Kriti Sanon posted a picture of the poster on Twitter.

Proud to be a part of the recounting of bravery, passion and patriotism in the Third Battle of #Panipat.

The upcoming fill marks many firsts - Arjun Kapoor will be teaming up with both Gowariker and co-actor Sanjay Dutt for the first time.

Historical dramas have always fascinated me.
This time it is a story about what led to the Third Battle of #Panipat.

Gowariker’s Lagaan and Jodha Akbar were huge hits.
