Arjun took to his Instagram account to share a picture where he can be seen riding a horse, in the caption, he shared his experience of taking up something new.

"New year, new learnings... so the last whole month of 2018 went in enjoying the company of an Animal, Mother Nature & Sunrises... as I gear up to restart shooting for Panipat I feel privileged to be able to learn this beautiful art of becoming one with this most glorious animal. The process of learning has been therapeutic & empowering at the same time. Can't wait to get back on set with this new childlike excitement for what is my toughest & biggest film yet," he wrote.

The 33-year-old actor also thanked his teachers at the course for helping and bearing with him.

"PS - Thank you to my teachers at the Race course for bearing with me along the way," he added.

Actors always put their best foot forward and try to leave no stone unturned to get into their characters. Some work on their physiques for a specific role, while others master a new skill. And seems like Arjun too is charged up for the role and had a great time learning something new!

The film's tagline reads 'The Great Betrayal' rightly sets the tone for the period drama. The project is helmed by Ashutosh Gowariker and is slated to release on December 6, 2019.
