MUMBAI: After working in films like Heropanti, Dilwale, Raabta and Bareilly Ki Barfi, actress Kriti Sanon says she is ecstatic to share work space with actor Sanjay Dutt in the upcoming historical period drama Panipat.

Kriti, without revealing much about her role, told IANS here, "I am very excited, although more of my scenes are going to be with Arjun Kapoor, but to share the same work space with Sanjay sir is going to be great."

Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Panipat will tell the story of what led to the third Battle of Panipat.

The 27-year-old actress is also particularly thrilled to work with Gowariker, who has helmed historical dramas like Lagaanand Jodhaa Akbar in the past.
