Actress Actress Kriti Sanon, who is prepping for her upcoming period drama Panipat, says being a North Indian, it is a challenge for her to play a Marathi character in the film. Talking about working on a period drama for the first time, Kriti told IANS: “It’s a completely new world for me. Being a North Indian, it’s a challenge to play a Marathi character but Ashu Sir (filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker) made it easy and very enjoyable.” The film, slated for release on December 6, also stars Arjun Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in pivotal roles.
