Ashutosh Gowariker And Sanjay Dutt Reunite After 32 Years

Ashutosh Gowariker is excited about his upcoming project Panipat, a re-presentation of the Third Battle of Panipat. The movie stars Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles and is scheduled to go on floors by mid-2018. Ashutosh said, “I shared screen space with Sanjay Dutt in ‘Naam’ (1986) which was a memorable co-acting experience. What impresses me most about Arjun apart from his fine performances, is his dynamism”. Ashutosh is excited to have Kriti Sanon on-board. He added, “I needed someone who is beautiful and a good performer. The eclectic combination of these three is a first for me.”The action-packed period drama is produced by Sunita Gowariker and Rohit Shelatkar’s company Vision World, and is slated to release on December 6, 2019. Gowariker’s last directorial venture ‘Mohenjo Daro’ (2016), did not do well on the box-office, but Rohit Shelatkar is certain that Ashutosh is perfect to wheel Panipat. “Ashutosh has a tremendous track record. ‘Lagaan’ , ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ and ‘Swades’ are my favourites. I am confident that he will represent the subject in the best cinematic form”.
