Ever since the trailer of Ashutosh Gowariker's Panipat released, netizens have been comparing it to that of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani. Panipat stars Arjun Kapoor as Sadashiv Rao who is constantly being compared to Ranveer Singh's character in Bajirao Mastani as they share quite some similarities. The film also stars Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt. Recently, during an interview, Arjun was asked about exchanging notes with BFF Ranveer for playing Bajirao’s nephew on the big screen. Arjun cleared the air around it and mentioned that though Ashutosh Gowariker and Sanjay Leela Bhansali make epic films, they have different temperaments.
The Panipat actor mentioned that both Sadashiv and Bajirao were from different eras. Arjun said, “Ashu Sir and Sanjay Sir make magnum opuses, but they have different temperaments. Here, I respected my director’s temperament. I wanted to remain loyal to my story. Ranveer would have given me his point of view which would be from Sanjay sir’s understanding. I have tremendous respect for Ranveer’s work. But this film didn’t require me to seek help as Bajirao and Sadashiv are from different eras.”
Panipat is all set to release on December 6, 2019.
