Panipat revolves around the third battle of Panipat between the Marathas and the Afghans, in 1761. Gowariker's film was shot on a grand scale, and the makers also recreated historical Shaniwarwada in Pune. Dutt, who's making some great choices of films lately, will also be seen playing the prime antagonist Adheera in Yash's KGF 2. He is also a part of another period drama Shamshera, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor.
