Panipat: Ashutosh Gowariker Finally Opens Up On Kriti Sanon’s Parvati Bai’ Dialogue Controversy!

Pulling off a periodic drama inspired by real-life events on the big screen is always a risky affair. Especially, Bollywood filmmakers have faced the wrath of protestors several times over the allegations of tampering the historical facts and who better than Sanjay Leela Bhansali knows it! But now, joining the list of accused is maverick filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker.

Yes, Ashutosh Gowariker and his upcoming film Panipat is facing several objections, specifically for its dialogue. Yesterday, Nawabzada Shadab Ali Bahadur — an eighth-generation descendant of Peshwa Bajirao served notices to the producers and director over Kriti Sanon’s dialogue in the trailer.

In the trailer, Kriti Sanon as Parvati Bai delivers a line,”Maine suna hai Peshwa jab akele muhim par jaate hain to ek Mastani ke saath laut te hain (I’ve heard that whenever the Peshwa goes to the war alone, he returns with a Mastani).”

Earlier, Afghan community too expressed that they aren’t pleased, the way their emperor Ahmad Shah Abdali is portrayed in the movie.
