Ashutosh
Gowarikar's
period
war
drama
Panipat
turned
a
year
on
Sunday
(December
6),
2020.
Its
lead
actress
Kriti
Sanon
took
to
her
Instagram
handle
to
celebrate
the
movie,
which
had
many
firsts
for
her.
She
was
especially
grateful
to
director
Gowarikar
for
making
a
woman
narrate
a
war
film.
Sharing
stills
from
the
film,
Kriti
wrote
as
caption,
"And
just
when
i
was
reliving
all
the
beautiful
memories
of
Panipat
through
my
phone
on
its
1year
anniversary,
Ashutosh
Sir
messaged
me:
'Happy
Birthday
Parvati
Bai'.
I
cannot
thank
you
enough
sir
for
giving
me
a
character
i
will
cherish
all
my
life!"
She
continued,
"Too
many
firsts
for
me.
My
first
period
film,
First
historic
character,
First
Marathi
character,
First
time
attempted
Sword
fighting
and
that
too
in
a
Navari
sari!
And
for
the
first
time
played
a
narrator
as
well..
Its
all
because
of
your
belief.
To
make
a
woman
narrate
a
war
film,
only
you
could
think
of
it!
It
just
empowered
Parvati
Bai's
character
even
more..
Love
you
sir!
@ashutoshgowariker
and
Miss
you
Raaya
@arjunkapoor
#1YearOfPanipat
#1YearOfParvatiBai."

In
another
post,
Kriti
shared
a
sword
fighting
scene
from
the
movie
and
people's
reaction
to
it
in
theatres,
and
wrote,
"All
i
could
think
of
while
doing
this
sequence
was:
Duvidha
ke
aage,
Jab
naari
jaage,
Himmat
se
kaam
le.
Choodi
utaare,
Kangan
utaare,
Talvaar
thaam
le!
P.S.
All
the
kilos
of
'mitti'
that
went
into
my
mouth
while
shooting
this
sequence
was
all
worth
it-
Swipe
left
to
see
Why!
#1YearOfPanipat."
