Zeenat Aman To Join Arjun Kapoor-Kriti Sanon Starrer Panipat. It's Confirmed!
Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon starrer Panipat has been in the making for a long time now. The film which is directed by Ashutosh Gowariker is all set to bring the Battle of Panipat on celluloid. However, the latest news that is buzzing is that the evergreen actress Zeenat Aman is going to join the star cast now along with Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Sanjay Dutt and Kay Kay Menon. The actress will do a cameo and will essay the role of Sakina Begum.

According to the makers, Sakina led the province of Hoshiyarganj and lived within the confines of her kingdom, away from the politics of the region. She played an important part in the battle of Panipat when the Peshwas turned to her for help.
