Shraddha Kapoor reportedly wrapped up shooting for Eetha in May. The much-anticipated biopic is based on legendary Tamasha artiste Vithabai Narayangaonkar. The film, which focusses on her extraordinary journey between 1940 and 1990, concluded its shoot with a grand montage song sequence filmed in Bhor, Maharashtra.

As reported by Mid-day, on May 5, the makers reached its finish line with a massive montage song, featuring Kapoor and a crowd of 800 people, shot in Bhor, Maharashtra. “The final song has a montage that chronicles the journey of Shraddha’s character from a young woman to her brush with fame and finally how she falls on hard times. Like the remaining numbers, this too has been choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant,” said a source.

The portal also informed that it was the end of the 60-day schedule that began in March. The team shot in Madh Island in Mumbai, Solapur, Aundhewadi, Satara, and Nashik.

In November, 2025, Shraddha Kapoor started shooting for Eetha. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the project marks Shraddha’s first collaboration with the filmmaker and is being produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. The news spread rapidly after a photo of the film’s clapboard, titled Eetha, went viral on social media, sparking excitement among fans.

Vithabai, one of the most revered figures in Marathi folk theatre, is remembered for her dedication to Tamasha — a vibrant form of traditional performance that blends music, dance, and storytelling. Her life, marked by artistic brilliance and personal challenges, continues to inspire generations of performers.

A Powerful Role For Shraddha Kapoor

Eetha promises to showcase Shraddha in one of her most intense and performance-driven roles to date. The actress, who last appeared in Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank (2024), has been selective with her recent projects, focusing on scripts that allow her to explore diverse characters.
