Moreover, not only Sanjay and Arjun will be seen in an action avatar but also Kriti will be seen doing some action in the film. In order to perfect her part, Kriti will also be taking sword-fighting lessons. To all those who are still unaware of Parvatibai’s contribution to the battle; she was the one who guided the women in the Maratha camp to do pilgrimage at Mathura and Vrindavan. After donning several easy-going roles, this movie will see Kriti in a full-fledged historic avatar.
After the last debacle Mohenjo Daro, Ashutosh is hoping to make a mark with Panipat. The film is all set to hit the screens on December 6th, 2019. But only time will tell if the filmmaker is able to replicate the magic and success of Jodhaa Akbar (2006), which is counted amongst the best films in the historic genre. The movie might see a good amount of crowd because of Kriti and Arjun’s fan following!
On the film front, apart from Panipat Kriti is speculated to be a part of Vishal Bhardwaj's film Churriyan. The stated is not yet confirmed by the makers.
