Method 1
There’s no automated way to do this easily. You need to manually create the shadows.
Method 2
One very quick and easy solution would be to …
Select the brush tool with the hardness value set to zero percent.
Click once on an empty layer to get a feathered dot as shown below.
Now, press “ctrl+t” to transform the dot into the desired shape.
Put a shape over the shadow and reduce its opacity to get the result below.
Method 3
One quick way, would be to create a shape behind it, and end each side on a bit of a curve.
Next, add your shadow to this shape, and place it in a layer below, nudging it into place.
