Shraddha Kapoor TRIPLES Her Fee For Eetha And Ashneer Grover Biopic

According to industry reports, Kapoor used to charge somewhere between Rs 5-7 crore for movies like Stree 2 and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. A report by Free Press Journal states that she has now raised her fee for Eetha to Rs 15 crore. Producer Dinesh Vijan, who has previously collaborated with her on Stree and Stree 2, reportedly believes that Eetha will be a game-changer for Kapoor’s career.

Interestingly, Kapoor is planning to hike her remuneration further to Rs 20 crore for her next project, a biopic on BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover. She will portray Grover’s wife, Madhuri Jain Grover.

Eetha Title Change Controversy

Meanwhile, Eetha has become embroiled in a controversy after the Nationalist Congress Party’s Film and Cultural Department objected to its title. The party feels that Eetha does not do justice to Narayangaonkar’s legacy and questioned why the film wasn’t titled Vitha or Vithabai. The demand has received support from Narayangaonkar’s sons, Kailash and Rajesh, as well as his grandson, Mohit.

Anant V Joshi Opens Up On The Controversy

Anant V Joshi, a cast member of Eetha, spoke to Zoom about the title dispute. He explained that the decision not to name the film after Narayangaonkar was made to avoid future complications. He added, “It would be beneficial for the movie if Narayangaonkar’s family was comfortable with using her real name, as it would make the film sound more credible.”

The film also stars Randeep Hooda and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub. It is all set to release on August 28.
