Kriti Sanon has had a busy year with the release of as many as four films (Luka Chuppi, Arjun Patiala, Housefull 4 and Kalank). Now, she is all set to appear on the silver screen in a never seen before avatar. She plays Sadashiv Rao Bhau’s (played by Arjun Kapoor) wife Parvati Bai in the upcoming period drama Panipat. The film is helmed by Ashutosh Gowariker. While Sanon’s character is being compared to Priyanka Chopra’s Kashibai in Bajirao Mastani, we asked her if she watched period dramas and took notes from any actor’s performance while preparing for her role. “Before Panipat, I deliberately stopped watching period films. Sometimes unknowingly you pick up certain things which an actor has done, then it becomes repetitive and there’s nothing new left for the audience. So, you have to play it in your way, and the characters are also different, so you cannot take from another actor’s performance,” the actor said.Panipat, also starring Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Kapoor, will hit the screens on December 6.
