Enter the battlefield
What makes Ashutosh Gowariker’s magnum opus – Panipat one of the most anticipated films of the year, apart from its historical subject, is undoubtedly the film’s stellar star cast.
The director has pulled off a casting coup of sorts by roping in a host of powerhouses of talents. And now, veteran actress Zeenat Aman has been roped in to play an important role in the film.
Zeenat Aman will be seen in a special guest appearance in Panipat, where she will essay the feisty character – Sakina Begum. Sakina led the province of Hoshiyarganj and lived within its confines, away from the politics of the region. She played an important part in the battle of Panipat when the Peshwas turned to her for help. Speaking about this latest addition to the ensemble cast of the film, Ashutosh Gowariker said, “It is an absolute honour and a fan moment to be directing Zeenatji. There are many of her films that I have loved and especially her work in them. What is most fascinating about her, is her humility despite all the stardom. I am excited to reveal her look in the film now but can’t.”
