Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor is set for a dynamic 2026, with a packed schedule featuring two highly anticipated film projects. Following the conclusion of her biographical drama *Eetha*, she is slated to commence filming for the fantasy epic *Naagin* in April. This year promises to showcase Kapoor's versatility across distinct genres.
The Grand Finale of 'Eetha' Production
Shraddha Kapoor is currently in the final stages of production for *Eetha*, a biographical drama directed by Laxman Utekar. In this challenging role, she embodies the legendary Tamasha and Lavani performer Vithabai Narayangaonkar.
Key details about *Eetha*'s production:
* Intensive Preparation: Kapoor underwent months of rigorous physical training and emotional preparation to authentically portray Vithabai. * Dedicated Performance: A production source revealed, “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.” * Wrapping Up: The makers are confident of wrapping the film by March, despite a brief pause due to an injury Kapoor sustained during a dance sequence, which did not significantly impact the schedule.
Transition to the Enchanting World of 'Naagin'
Immediately after completing *Eetha*, Shraddha Kapoor will pivot to the much-awaited high-concept fantasy film *Naagin*. This project, which has been in development for an extended period, is scheduled to go on floors in April 2026.
*Naagin* promises a distinct shift in Kapoor’s cinematic journey:
* Genre Switch: Moving from a performance-driven biographical role to a supernatural fantasy, marking a significant genre transition. * Extensive Pre-Production: According to an insider, “Naagin has been in development for a long time, and the team wanted to get everything right — from the VFX design to the casting.” * Cast Finalization: With Shraddha Kapoor confirmed, the remaining cast members have also fallen into place, paving the way for principal photography to begin in April. * Mythological Themes: The film is expected to delve into supernatural and mythological narratives, offering a rich and visually captivating experience for audiences.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Shraddha Kapoor's diverse performances in these upcoming ventures, showcasing her range and dedication to challenging roles.
