Director Ashutosh Gowariker on Saturday said he doesn't mind parallels being drawn between his upcoming directorial Panipat and Bajirao Mastani as Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus was a well-made film.

Panipat chronicles the third Battle of Panipat in 1761 fought between the Marathas, under the leadership of Sadashivrao Bhau, and invading Afghan army, led by Ahmad Shah Abdali. Arjun Kapoor stars as Sadashivrao and Sanjay Dutt plays Ahmad Shah in the film, scheduled to be released on December 6. The period drama is also being compared to Bhansali's latest Padmaavat over similarities between the looks of Sanjay's Ahmad Shah and Ranveer Singh's Alauddin Khilji.
