Speaking about the new addition to the stellar cast of Panipat, producer Sunita Gowariker said, “Mohnish is an immensely talented and versatile actor. He comes with years of experience and has never once failed to impress with his performance. Nana Saheb is one of the most important characters in our film. He has several layers to him and we needed someone who is not only a good actor but also someone who could maturely pull off the various complex shades of this character. Needless to say, Mohnish fit's in all the requirements to a tee. This is the first time AGPPL will be working with him and we are excited to have him on board.” Interestingly, this is the first time that Mohnish will be seen in a historical period drama.
