Director Ashutosh Gowariker today announced that celebrated Hindi poet Ashok Chakradhar will pen the dialogues of his upcoming period film "Panipat".
Gowariker took to Twitter to share the news.
"Honoured and proud to have the giant of Hindi literature, poet and essayist #PadmaShri @ChakradharAshok ji, to write the dialogues of #Panipat. Welcome sir, to the 18th Century!" the filmmaker tweeted and tagged the cast members of the film.
Chakradhar replied saying he is waiting to create the period piece with him.
"Dear Ashutosh, thank you for your heartfelt words. Collaborating with you is a matter of pride for me. My heart is beating for the 18th Century India," the poet wrote in Hindi.
The film, which features Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt in key roles, is based on the third battle of Panipat that took place in 1761.
