EXCLUSIVE: Kriti Sanon on Panipat: If people are comparing my role with Priyanka Chopra's Kashi, it is great
Kriti Sanon, in an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, opens up on her role being compared to that with Priyanka Chopra's Kashi Bai. Check it out.
Kriti Sanon will be seen playing a historical character soon in Panipat, which releases on December 6, 2019. The movie stars Arjun Kapoor alongside Kriti, and the star cast also includes Sanjay Dutt, who plays a very pivotal role. Panipat has been directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar, who has earlier directed by Swades, Lagaan and others. Kriti will be seen playing the role of Parvati Bai, however, as soon as the trailer dropped, many on Twitter compared it to that with Priyanka's Kashi from Bajirao Mastani. In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Kriti said that she feels both Kashi and Parvati belong to the same era, so obviously the looks will be similar but apart from that their journeys were completely different.
She said, "There is no pressure. I have loved Priyanka Chopra in Bajirao Mastani. She was fabulous. But, I don't think my character, Parvati Bai, is anywhere similar to her character (Kashi Bai). I don't think her character went through the same journey as mine. The situation is different, upbringing is different and the whole story is different. If it is a comparison, it is a great comparison. But Parvati Bai for me is very different."
Kriti and Arjun have come together for the first time in Panipat and their looks have been appreciated. Kriti is on a roll with back to back movies. She was earlier seen in Housefull 4 alongside Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Pooja Hegde and Kriti Kharbanda.
