Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, whose movies are known to have detailed sets, has always stunned the audience with his mesmerising visuals in his films. His recreation of the Agra Fort in Jodhaa Akbar became the talk of the town instantly and therefore it's a no-brainer when the filmmaker announced that he will construct the majestic Shaniwar Wada for his upcoming period film, Panipat.

Gowariker on Thursday shared a photograph of the 'Bhoomi pujan' which took place on Akshaya Tritiya on Wednesday after bricks for the massive structure were laid and the construction of the Wada began.

"Construction began on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya! Recreation of the ‘Shaniwar Wada' to original scale!" Gowariker captioned the image.

As Shaniwar Wada marks of significant importance in Peshwa history, the Wada will be built in the actual scale and grandeur of the real Shaniwar Wada at N.D. Studios. With art director Nitin Desai and the filmmaker on board for Panipat, the visual is surely to blow everyone's mind.

"I am excited to work with Ashutosh Gowariker again after Jodhaa Akbar. The battle of Panipat is one of the most important chapter of our history and I am glad to be a part of this project. Shaniwar Wada was a stunning place and I am excited to recreate this magnificent structure for the film," said Nitin.

Panipat will tell the story of what led to the third Battle of Panipat, which is one of the most epic battles in the history of India that took place on 14 January 1761 at Panipat. Actors Arjun Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon are part of the ambitious project.

The film will be produced by Sunita Gowariker under their home banner AGPPL in association with Vision World. The film is slated to release on December 6, 2019.
