Kriti Sanon, who is playing Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau's second wife Parvati Bai in Panipat, said that she was "expecting comparisons" when she signed the film. Addressing criticism over similarities between Bajirao Mastani and Panipat, she said, "Padmaavat too was compared to Baahubali." "The period of Panipat and Bajirao is similar...But the characters are different," she added.
