Shraddha Kapoor was last seen on the big screen in the film Stree 2, which was released in theatres over a year ago. The actress has now revealed that she has already wrapped the shoot for one of her films. The actress was interacting with fans through social media and answering some of the questions they had.
Shraddha Kapoor confirms film with Rahul Mody
The actress confirmed that she shot for a film but could not reveal details as the project has not been officially announced. However, she confirmed that she is currently working on her boyfriend and filmmaker Rahul Mody’s film, titled Eetha. She added, “It revolves around the world of start-ups. It is based on hustle culture. For me, it’s a new kind of role, and it’s challenging. I am now consciously deciding to take on roles where I am challenged as an actor and where I play an active character. So I am choosing films only after thinking deeply about the script and taking my time to decide what kind of film I want to do.”
Shraddha give update on health in injury
When asked for an update about her leg injury, Shraddha shared a video showing her plastered leg and said, “Terminator ki tarah ghoom rahi hoon. Muscle tear hai. Theek ho jaayega. Bas thoda rest karna hai but I’ll be absolutely fine (I am roaming around like a terminator. It’s a muscle tear; it will heal soon. I just need a bit of rest, but I’ll be absolutely fine).”
Update on Eetha
Kapoor had begun filming for Eetha, a biopic on legendary Tamasha artiste Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar, in Aundhewadi near Nashik. But last week, director Laxman Utekar had to hit pause on his film after Kapoor fractured a toe on her left foot.
The injury happened while she was performing the Lavani, a folk dance form that Narayangaonkar was known for. A source shares, “Lavani music characteristically has fast-paced beats and a quick tempo. In this number composed by Ajay-Atul, Shraddha — sporting a vibrant Nauvari saree, heavy jewellery, and a kamarpatta — had to perform a series of steps in succession, to the beats of the dholki. To look the part of a young Vithabai, the actor has put on over 15 kilos. In one step, she mistakenly put all her weight on her left foot, and lost her balance as a result.”
While Utekar immediately called off the Nashik schedule, we’ve heard that Kapoor was keen to not let the days go to waste. She suggested that they rework the schedule to shoot close-up scenes. The source adds, “After returning to Mumbai, they began to film on a set at Madh Island, where Shraddha shot some emotional sequences. However, after a couple of days, her pain aggravated and they had to discontinue the shoot. The unit will regroup two weeks later when she has completely recovered.”
