Sahil Salathia Joins The Star Cast Of Ashutosh Gowariker’s Panipat As Shamsher Bahadur

Director Ashutosh Gowariker’s magnum opus – Panipat has been constantly making headlines ever since its announcement. The film, which is mounted on a grand scale, has already secured a host of Bollywood actors for its large ensemble cast and now there is another addition to its stellar team – Indian supermodel-turned-actor – Sahil Salathia.

Sahil, who made his acting debut as the main lead in Ashutosh Gowariker’s telenovela Everest, has been roped in to play Shamsher Bahadur in the historical drama Panipat. Shamsher Bahadur was the son of Bajirao I and Mastani and a formidable warrior, who played an important part in the Third Battle of Panipat.

Speaking about the latest addition to Panipat, producer Sunita Gowariker said, “Sahil had left an impression on us ever since he did Everest with AGPPL. We had been wanting to work with him again and this role was a perfect fit for him. Sahil is a talented actor and we are certain that he will do complete justice to Shamsher Bahadur’s character.”
