Arjun had earlier shared a video showcasing how he transformed into the role of Maratha leader Sadashiv regarding his costumes, posture and attitude. “I was not convinced that I could look like a Maratha, like a Peshwa but Ashu sir was convinced. He is a very meticulous person. He had done his research, he had seen my films, my images. ‘Andhadhun aake nahi bol rahe the ki tu takla ho jaega aur kar lega’. There was some thought behind it. He had a lot of clarity regarding my role..,” Arjun said in the video.

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, the movie is based on the Third Battle of Panipat, which was fought between the Marathas and Afghan invader Ahmed Shah Abdali in 1761. Apart from Arjun, Panipat also features Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles. It is slated for release on December 6.
