Shraddha Kapoor Gets Injured On Eetha Sets, Shoot Postponed: Report

After basking in the success of Stree 2, Shraddha Kapoor started working on an anticipated project named Eetha, which is based on the life of legendary Tamasha performer Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar. But a crisis occurred on the set after the actress injured herself while performing Lavani. The shoot was then halted last week. As reported by Mid-Day, Shraddha was in the middle of performing Lavani- a high-energy Maharashtrian folk dance closely associated with Narayangaonkar. While shooting, she suffered a fracture in the toe on her left foot.

A source told Mid-Day, “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.”

It added, “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.”

With Eetha, Shraddha Kapoor is expected to take one of the most challenging and demanding roles in her career. The film also featured Randeep Hooda in a pivotal role. The film has been directed by Laxman Utekar.
