Home > Films > Panipat: The Great Betrayal

story

Panipat is a War Epic set in 1761, when the Martha Empire had reached its zenith and their grip on Hindustan reigned supreme with no-one to challenge them. Until an invader set his eyes on the throne of Hindustan. That’s when Sadashiv Rao Bhau Peshwa, the Commander-in-Chief of the Maratha army led a northern expedition to repel the invading forces of Ahmad Shah Abdali, the king of Afghanistan.

Trivia

The “Mard Maratha” song in Panipat was shot over 13 days with 1300 dancers at an opulent set of Shaniwar Wada erected in Karjat. It was shot on an extensive scale, replete with Peshwai ambience with a grand Ganesh idol.

19,000 meters of fabric were used for the army's costumes, turbans, and character costumes.

2800 jewellery pieces were used in the film.

Some days of shoot required 60 tents to be pitched including Maratha and Afghan tents. These were specially designed for the film with reference to period paintings and texts.
