Panipat is based on 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. The battle was fought between the northern expeditionary force of the Maratha Empire and invading forces of the King of Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Abdali, supported by two Indian allies—the Rohilla Afghans of the Doab, and Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Awadh. Arjun, in the film, will play the role of Sadashiv Rao while Kriti is his wife Parvatibai. Sanjay is the menacing Ahmad Shah Abdali. Apart from them, the film stars Padmini Kolhapure, Mohnish Bahl and Zeenat Aman in special roles.

Directed by Ashutosh, Panipat is produced by Sunita Gowariker under their home banner AGPPL in association with Rohit Shelatkar's company – Vision World. The film is scheduled to release on December 6, 2019.
