Shraddha Kapoor injured during Eetha shoot
The actress is currently in the final leg of shooting for
Eetha, a biopic helmed by
Chhaava director Laxman Utekar. The film sees Shraddha portraying legendary Tamasha and Lavani performer Vithabai Narayangaonkar, a role that has pushed her both physically and emotionally. The shoot briefly stalled after Shraddha sustained an injury during a demanding dance sequence, but latest updates suggest that the setback has not derailed the overall schedule.
According to media reports,
Eetha is expected to wrap by the end of March. “Shraddha has been deeply invested in Eetha. The role is physically gruelling and emotionally intense, but she is keen to finish the film within the schedule. The makers are confident of wrapping by March,” Mid-day quoted a production source as saying. The actress reportedly underwent months of rigorous physical training to authentically capture the essence of the iconic folk performer, making the project a transformative experience in her career.
Shraddha to begin Naagin in April
Even before
Eetha wraps, preparations are already underway for Shraddha’s next venture - the fantasy film
Naagin. The project, which has been in development for a considerable time, marks her return to the genre of large-scale fantasy and mythology-inspired cinema. Industry insiders reveal that extensive groundwork has been done to ensure the film meets expectations, especially given its heavy reliance on visual effects and world-building.As per the same Mid-day report, “
Naagin has been in development for a long time, and the team wanted to get everything right - from the VFX design to the casting. With Shraddha locked in, the rest of the cast has fallen into place. The plan is to start shooting by April." The actress is expected to take on a shapeshifting avatar in the film, a stark contrast to the grounded realism of
Eetha.Despite her recent injury, Shraddha Kapoor’s packed schedule shows her commitment to exploring diverse roles and genres. The actress, who is loved for her portrayal of a witch in
Stree, is looking to up the game with
Naagin.
