Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor sustained a fracture while shooting for Eetha, leading to an unexpected pause in the film’s schedule. The actress had been deeply involved in Laxman Utekar’s upcoming project, tentatively titled Eetha, which is a biopic on Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar. During the Nashik schedule, she reportedly suffered an injury that resulted in the fracture. According to multiple reports, the incident forced the team to halt production until she makes a full recovery. The temporary break has affected the shoot, but the team is expected to resume filming once Shraddha regains her strength and is medically cleared to return safely.

According to Mid-Day, an industry insider revealed the information, stating it confidentially while discussing the situation surrounding the latest development. “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.”
According to the source, once the team returned to Mumbai, production restarted on a Madh Island set. During this schedule, Shraddha performed several deeply emotional scenes, capturing the intensity required for the film’s narrative and contributing significantly to the shoot. “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.”
The actress, who stays highly active on social media platforms, has still not posted any specific update regarding her current health condition, leaving fans waiting and wondering about her well-being.
A Glimpse Into Eetha
The Utekar directorial has not been officially announced yet, but reports suggest that the team quietly began shooting on November 1 in Audhewadi. According to sources, the film’s schedule will continue across multiple locations, with major portions expected to be shot in Solapur, Satara, and Kolhapur, making it a multi-city production with an extensive shoot plan over the coming weeks.
In the biopic, Shraddha Kapoor portrays a legendary Tamasha artiste from Maharashtra, bringing to life the inspiring journey of Vithabai, celebrated as the ‘Tamasha Samradini’. Known for her extraordinary dedication to preserving and elevating the region’s folk traditions, Vithabai earned national recognition for her unmatched artistry. She received the prestigious President’s Award twice, first in 1957 and later in 1990, honouring her remarkable contribution to Maharashtra’s vibrant cultural heritage and timeless performing arts that continue to inspire artists across India today.
On work front

The much-awaited animated sequel brings her energetic dubbing performance to the forefront, adding a fresh charm to the beloved character. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas nationwide on 28 November.
