Ever since the trailer of the highly anticipated historical period film, Panipat released, many on the Internet took no time to draw comparisons between Arjun Kapoor’s role of Sadashiv Bhau and Ranveer Singh’s role of Bajirao from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani.

Right from the costumes to the physical appearances of the characters, the Ashutosh Gowarikar film saw many similarities with that of SLB’s historical romance drama.

Panipat’s director, Ashutosh Gowarikar, has finally reacted to all the comparisons and said that the story of Panipat is different from Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. Furthermore, he clarified that the films are set in the same time period as Bajirao Mastani, due to which costumes and locations might look similar. 

Based on the Third Battle of Panipat, the film stars Arjun Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles. Apart from Arjun and Ranveer’s correlations, several comparisons were jotted down between the role of Sanjay Dutt’s Abdali in the film and Ranveer’s Khilji from Padmaavat.

Reacting to the analogy, Ashutosh says, “So, Jodhaa Akbar was immediately compared to Mughal-E-Azam, Bajirao Mastani to Jodhaa Akbar and Padmaavat to Bahubali. That’s nothing to be worried about.”

Talking of Panipat, Arjun will be seen playing the role of Sadashiv Rao Bhau, Kriti Sanon will essay Parvati Bai's role and Sanjay Dutt will be playing the antagonist in the film as Ahmad Shah Abdali. The film is all set to hit the theatres on December 6, 2019.
