Mumbai

Acclaimed designer Neeta Lulla will lend her creativity and
expertise to the detailed costumes for Ashutosh Gowariker's period drama
"Panipat".
In the past, the two creative minds collaborated for "Jodhaa
Akbar" and "Mohenjo Daro". Lulla had even won the National Film Award for Best
Costume Design for the former movie.
For "Panipat", which comprises an
ensemble cast and is based on the third battle of Panipat, Lulla is excited to
explore the costumes worn at the time of the Maratha Empire.
Lulla said
in a statement: "Peshwa's historical and traditional lineage will reflect in the
costumes of the film. Ashutosh Gowariker is a visionary and working with him is
always a treat.
"We will create magic through our costumes and give
fluidity to the narrative through our well-researched styling. The battle of
Panipat is one of the most important chapters of our history and I am honoured
to be a part of this project."
Gowariker is confident about Lulla's
attention to detail.
"It has been wonderful working with Neeta,
especially on the Rajput and Mughal dressing, followed by the Gujarati and
Bengali styles. Her range is fantastic.
"And now, I am looking forward to
working with her on the Maharashtrian dressing and more in 'Panipat'," he said.
His wife Sunita, who is producing the movie under their AGPPL Films home
banner, said: "Neeta is amazing at helping the director achieve his vision and
is a producer's delight. She is a dream to work with and a true friend. Looking
forward to the new journey of 'Panipat'."
The film includes Arjun Kapoor,
Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt in pivotal roles.
Art director Nitin Desai is
already working closely with Gowariker for the film and is recreating the
Shaniwar Wada set for the film at N.D. Studios.
"Panipat" will release on
December 6 next year.
