Kriti Sanon is all set to be seen playing the role of a Maratha woman in Ashutosh Gowariker's upcoming directorial Panipat. Since the time her first look came out, people have been drawing comparisons with Priyanka Chopra Jonas' look from Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Bajirao Mastani. In the 2015 period drama, PeeCee played the role of Kashibai and won several accolades for her incredible performance in it.

Recently, Kriti took to her Instagram page and shared a selfie posing with Priyanka. She captioned it stating, "When Parvati Bai met Kashi Bai! It's always so lovely meeting you PC! @priyankachopra biggg hug!"

During an interaction with Mid Day, when Kriti was asked about what she spoke to Priyanka, the Heropanti actor stated, "We were trying to figure the exact relation between Kashibai and Parvatibai. Priyanka had seen my video where I was dancing on 'Coca Cola' [Luka Chuppi song] in my vanity van, dressed as Parvatibai. It resonated with her. She said, 'It reminded me of myself because whenever I would be off the set, I was no longer Kashibai. I would slip into my character again when I was on the set.' We had a fun, informal conversation."

While talking about being compared to Priyanka's Kashibai character, Kriti said, "I was expecting comparisons when I signed the film. Padmaavat too was compared to Baahubali. The period of Panipat and Bajirao is similar. The setting is similar because the Peshwas lived in Shaniwar Wada, and they dressed in a certain way. But the characters are different. I hope the audience doesn't [jump to] conclusions by watching only the trailer."
