Mumbai: Ace director Ashutosh Gowariker is back with a bang with his passion project 'Panipat', starring Arjun Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon. The director will be making his comeback with this film after the debacle of 'Mohenjo Daro' (2016) starring Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde.

'Panipat' shows the events that led to the Third Battle of Panipat, when Sadashiv Rao Bhau (Arjun Kapoor), the Commander-in-Chief of the Maratha army led a northern expedition in order to repel the invading forces of Ahmad Shah Abdali (Sanjay Dutt), the King of Afghanistan. Kriti Sanon will be seen playing Parvati Bai, wife of Sadashiv Rao. The trailer promises an epic war saga with loads of action, drama and whirlwind of emotions.
