Arjun
Kapoor
is
all
kicked
about
his
next
release
-
Ashutosh
Gowariker's
Panipat.
The
day,
its
trailer
was
launched,
Arjun
was
compared
to
Ranveer
Singh
and
the
film's
trailer
reminded
netizens
of
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Bajirao
Mastani.
Hence,
comparisons
were
meant
to
happen!
Unfortunately,
many
netizens
started
trolling
the
Kapoor
lad
while
comparing
his
acting
chops
with
Ranveer
and
many
memes
w.r.t.
that
comparison
landed
on
social
media.
In
his
recent
tête-à-tête
with
a
media
portal,
Arjun
was
all
praises
for
his
Gunday
co-star
Ranveer
and
revealed
that
he
keeps
teasing
Deepika
Padukone
by
calling
himself
her
'souten'
(the
other
woman).
Arjun
said,
"He
still
gatecrashes
my
dubbing,
sends
long
voice
messages
after
watching
my
songs
and
kisses
me
on
the
cheeks.
Our
connection
remains
unaffected.
I
tell
Deepika
that
I
am
her
souten.
We
have
been
consistently
warm."
In
the
same
interview,
Arjun
also
revealed
why
he
didn't
seek
any
advice
from
Ranveer
while
playing
Sadashiv
Rao
in
Panipat.
For
the
unversed,
Sadashivrao
Bhau
was
the
nephew
of
Bajirao
Peshwa.
Arjun
said,
"Ashu
sir
and
Sanjay
sir
[Leela
Bhansali]
make
magnum
opuses,
but
they
have
different
temperaments.
Here,
I
respected
my
director's
temperament.
I
wanted
to
remain
loyal
to
my
story.
Ranveer
would
halve
given
me
his
point
of
view
[that
would
be
derived
from]
Sanjay
sir's
understanding.
I
have
tremendous
respect
for
Ranveer's
work.
But
this
film
didn't
require
me
[to
seek
his
advice]
because
Bajirao
and
Sadashiv
are
from
different
eras."
Panipat
also
casts
Kriti
Sanon
and
Sanjay
Dutt
in
the
lead
roles
and
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
December
6,
2019.
