Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor is playing Ranveer Singh’s nephew in Ashutosh Gowariker’s Panipat. Ranveer played the role of Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, and now Arjun Kapoor is playing the role of Sadashivrao Bhau, Peshwa Bajirao’s nephew, in Panipat.
While Ranveer Singh got his Marathi accent more or less right for his role, his Gunday co-star Arjun is working towards getting his accent right from director Ashutosh Gowariker. The actor stepped into the dubbing studio on Tuesday, and Gowariker helped him with the dubbing.
“Arjun is a Mumbai boy, and hence he had the Marathi twang more or less in place, but the help in fine-tuning came from Gowariker. It is a period drama and Arjun’s first historical, so a lot of care was given during the dubbing as well,” says an industry source.
Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt plays the role of Afghan king Ahmed Shah Abdali to Arjun’s Sadashivrao in the third battle of Panipat, which resulted in a huge defeat of the Maratha army.
