Kriti Sanon:

Excited to

share work

space with

Sanjay Dutt

fter working in films like ‘Heropanti’, ‘Dilwale’,
‘Raabta’ and ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, actress Kriti
ASanon said she is ecstatic to share work space

with actor Sanjay Dutt in the upcoming historical
period drama ‘Panipat’. Kriti, without revealing much
about her role, told, “I am very excited, although
more of my scenes are going to be with Arjun Kapoor,
but to share the same work space with Sanjay sir is
going to be great.”
Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, ‘Panipat’ will tell
the story of what led to the third Battle of Panipat.

The actress is also particularly thrilled to work with
Gowariker, who has helmed historical dramas like
‘Lagaan’ and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ in the past. “I am really
thrilled about that film ‘Panipat’,” said Kriti, who is
doing a completely different film like ‘Housefull 3’
before she starts working on it.
‘Panipat’ will be produced by Sunita Gowariker under
her home banner AGPPL in association with Vision
World. The film is slated to release on December 6,
2019. When it comes to Kriti’s filmography, she has
featured in films of a different genres from masala
entertainers like ‘Diwale’ to a slice of life film such as

‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’.
“There are two separate genres and both have their
audiences. You will see masala films also doing
well... But a content-driven film might be loved a lot
more at times because of the different stories it gives
the audiences and the story that stays with you...
We do have an audience who wants to see a typical
Bollywood film which the industry is known for.”
