Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker is back with another film that will take the audience back in time. His upcoming film Panipat features Arjun Kapoor as the Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau. Set in 1761, it is about the Maratha empire. Back then their grip on Hindustan reigned supreme until an invader set his eyes on the throne of Hindustan. Here's 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.
While we are eagerly awaiting the project, one cannot fail to notice that his Mohenjo Daro tanked at the box-office. When asked how does he get the strength to enter another battlefield with Panipat, Ashutosh told a leading daily, "The norm of this business is that failure is singularly yours while success is to be shared. So, I never blame anyone. I analyse what went wrong, make mental notes and try not to repeat the mistakes in the next film."
Furthemore, when prodded if he would want to revisit Mohenjo Daro, the filmmaker said that he would rather "make a film on Buddha, on how Prince Siddhartha became Buddha. What happened to bring the change, the answers he found…" Well, we cannot wait to see how that turns out!
