After introducing Sanjay Dutt's fierce avatar as Ahmad Shah Abdali from Panipat, it's time the makers unveil Kriti Sanon's first look from the same. The actress is a part of this historical saga directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and we have some high hopes pinned on this Luka Chuppi girl. She plays a vaidya (physician) in this war drama that revolves around the third Battle of Panipat fought between the Maratha Empire and the Durrani Empire in 1761. Panipat: Sanjay Dutt Looks Fierce in his First Look as Ahmad Shah Abdali (View Pic).

Kriti's Marathi avatar will instantly remind you of Priyanka Chopra from Bajirao Mastani as their look and mannerisms are quite similar. She comes across as an utterly charming lady but there's more to her than just her good looks. Sanon is decked up in a traditional avatar and her first look is truly mesmerizing. Speaking about her character in Panipat, Kriti in one of her recent interviews said, "Parvati Bai has been shown as a vaidya (physician) in the movie. I am not sure if women were even allowed to work at that time. The women characters in Ashu sir's films are strong, independent and someone who can voice their opinion. Even here, my character falls in love with Sadashivrao (Arjun Kapoor) and accompanies him to the war."  Arjun Kapoor Posts New 'Panipat' Poster and Malaika Arora Can't Keep Calm.

Check Out Kriti Sanon's first look from Panipat

Panipat will lock horns with Kartik Aaryan, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday's Pati Patni aur Woh on December 6 and we wonder if history will beat comedy at the box office this time. With Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt's looks out already, we have our eyes set on Arjun Kapoor's avatar next.
