Kriti Sanon, who is prepping for her upcoming period drama Panipat, says, being a North Indian, she finds it challenging to play a Marathi character in the film.
Talking about working on a period drama for the first time, Sanon says, "It's a new world for me. Being a North Indian, it's a challenge to play a Marathi character, but Ashu sir [Ashutosh Gowariker, director] made it easy and enjoyable."
