Legendary singer Asha Bhosle recently visited the sets of Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum opus Panipat and has even directed a scene in the film.

In the midst of the filming of the historical drama in Karjat, the cast and crew of Panipat were pleasantly surprised by a special visitor - Asha Bhosle. The singer decided to travel all the way to Karjat on her time off to spend some time on the sets of the film.

Ashutosh shared, "It was really sweet of Ashaji to visit us on the set. She brought in such vibrant energy and spread lots of cheerfulness. She even called the shots for one particular scene and I must say, she does have a knack for direction too, We were thrilled to have her on the set and I hope she keeps surprising me like this with such wonderful visits," he added.

Not many know, but Asha has an affinity towards historical dramas and is also extremely fond of filmmaker Ashutosh and even actress Padmini Kolhapure, who plays Gopika Bai in Panipat. The scene directed by the singer features Padmini Kolhapure and Mohnish Bahl, who is essaying the role of Nana Saheb in the film. 

Produced by Sunita Gowariker and scheduled for release on December 6, Panipat is based on the Third Battle of Panipat, which is one of the most epic battles that took place in 1761 at Panipat.
