What makes Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum opus – Panipat one of the most hotly-anticipated films of the year, apart from its historical subject, is undoubtedly the film's stellar star cast. The maverick director has pulled off a casting coup of sorts by roping in a host of powerhouses of talents. And now Ashutosh has managed another feat; he has brought on board the extremely talented, beautiful and legendary Zeenat Aman for an important part in his film.

Zeenat Aman will be seen in a special guest appearance in Panipat, where she will essay the feisty character – Sakina Begum. Sakina led the province of Hoshiyarganj and lived within the confines of her kingdom, away from the politics of the region. She played an important part in the battle of Panipat when the Peshwas turned to her for help.
