The life of a Maratha warrior is well depicted by Arjun. The trailer perfectly paints the events that led to the Third Battle of Panipat.
Panipat is set in 1761 when the Maratha Empire had reached its zenith and their grip on Hindustan reigned supreme with no-one to challenge them until an invader set his eyes on the throne of Hindustan.
That’s when the Commander-in-Chief of the Maratha army Sadashiv Rao Bhau led a northern expedition to repel the invading forces of Ahmad Shah Abdali, the King of Afghanistan.

Talking about the film, Kriti recently told PTI, “It is a great story that needs to be told. I like the character of Parvati Bai, especially the way Ashu sir has written it. It did attract me as I have never done something like this before."
"I was initially confused like how come he thought of me to play this Marathi girl because I am a North Indian, Punjabi. I was a little surprised. But I did not want to let go of the opportunity to do a period film with a director, who is a legend in that space. It is very different from what I have done and so it becomes exciting and challenging at the same time. That is how you break certain barriers,” she added.
Panipat also stars Mohnish Bahl, Padmini Kolhapure and Zeenat Aman. Produced by Sunita Gowariker and Rohit Shelatkar’s company Vision World, it is scheduled to release on December 6.
