The Hindi\nfilm industry seldom churns out films based on historical events. Two\nfilmmakers who have made films in this genre more than once in the recent past\nare Ashutosh Gowariker and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. One needs vision, grit,\npatience and determination to make films like these as they require a lot of\nresearch and take a lot of time to be translated from the paper to the screen.\nHowever, the success of films like the \u2018Baahubali\u2019 series, \u2018Bajirao Mastani\u2019\nand \u2018Padmaavat\u2019 have attracted a lot of filmmakers towards this genre and there\nare a couple of films, in this space, are slated to release in the next two\nyears. Here is a look at the actresses whom we shall see revisiting the past in\nthe near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kriti Sanon in Panipat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kriti, who\ndelivered a super-hit in the form of \u2018Luka Chuppi\u2019, will be seen in Ashutosh\nGowariker\u2019s magnum opus that chronicles the battle of Panipat. In this film,\nshe will be essaying the role of Parvati Bai, the second wife of Sadashiv Rao\nBhau, the Sardar Senapati or the commander-in-chief of the Maratha Army that\nfought the army of Ahmad Shah Abdail in the battle of Panipat. Though \u2018Raabta\u2019\nhad a portion, where the leads were seen in an unknown time period, \u2018Panipat\u2019\nwill be her first, proper period drama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt,\nBhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor in Takht<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These four\nactresses will be seen in (not necessarily together) in Karan Johar\u2019s period\ndrama. While not much is known about the film, it is said to be a family drama\nset in the Mughal era. What is also known is that Kareena and Alia, just like\n\u2018Udta Punjab\u2019, will not have any scenes together in the film. With Johar at the\nhelm of affairs and a huge star cast which also comprises of Ranveer Singh,\nAnil Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, \u2018Takht\u2019 is one of the most anticipated films of\n2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kajol in Taanhaji<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kajol and\nAjay Devgn will be seen together on-screen twelve years after they last worked\nin \u2018U Me Aur Hum\u2019. In the film, Ajay, who also co-produces the film along with\nT-Series, will be portraying the titular role of the Maratha warrior and Saif\nAli Khan will be seen as the main antagonist. In a recent interview, Ajay\nrevealed that Kajol\u2019s role will be more of an extended guest appearance.\nDespite her limited screen time, fans would be quite excited to see the\nreal-life couple together in a film after a hiatus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Madhubala in\n\u2018Mughal-E-Azam\u2019, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in \u2018Jodhaa Akbar\u2019, Deepika Padukone in\n\u2018Bajirao Mastani\u2019 and \u2018Padmaavat\u2019, period films have always offered actresses\nmeaty roles to play and have often turned out to be the most memorable roles of\nher career. One expects the aforementioned films to carry forward this\nnotion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Hindi film industry seldom churns out films based on historical events.
