The unprecedented success of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion led to many filmmakers delving into historical/period/costume dramas. However, we can't put filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker in the same category as he had been making such films for years now. Be it Lagaan: Once Upon A Time in India, Jodhaa Akbar or even the dud that was Mohenjo Daro, Ashutosh is known for making epic cinema. His upcoming film is called Panipat.

Based on the third battle of Panipat, Panipat stars Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt in the lead. Kriti Sanon, who is on a career-high after back to back successes of films like Bareilly Ki Barfi and Luka Chhupi, announced the wrap of Panipat via her social media account. Sharing a note thanking co-star Arjun Kapoor and director Ashutosh Gowariker, Kriti posted two behind the scenes pictures as well.

In her note, she thanked Arjun for being "a lovely and entertaining costar" and Ashutosh for creating magic "in the calmest manner ever". Her post read, "Wrapped up PANIPAT!!
