On the stage, one last time

Shraddha Kapoor and Vithabai Narayangaonkar

When making a biopic on Tamasha artiste Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar, it's only fitting that you wrap the film with a song. That's exactly what actor Shraddha Kapoor and director Laxman Utekar did. On May 5, Eetha - the biopic that plays out between 1940 and 1990 - 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.

With that, it was the end of the 60-day schedule that began in March. Over the subsequent weeks, they shot in Madh Island in Mumbai, Solapur, Aundhewadi, Satara, and Nashik.
