 Panhala fort is still under the command of a cruel general, Beshak Khan, of the Adil Shah of Bijapur, whose forces harass the peasantry.The previous attempt to capture the fort in 1666, which he had held briefly in 1660 had failed.To recapture the fort, a mission is planned and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj appoints Kondaji Farzand (Ankit Mohan) general for the mission.
