Following the blockbuster success of Chhaava, filmmaker Dinesh Vijan and director Laxman Utekar are set to reunite for his or her next collaboration, Eetha. The much-anticipated biographical drama, headlined by Shraddha Kapoor, has officially locked its theatrical release date and can arrive in cinemas on August 28, 2026, coinciding with the Raksha Bandhan holiday period.
Shraddha Kapoor-starrer Eetha locks August 28, 2026 release; to clash with Sidharth Malhotra’s Vvan
The announcement marks a major milestone for the project, which has been generating attention ever since reports emerged that Shraddha Kapoor would portray legendary Marathi folk theatre and Lavani performer Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar on screen.
Eetha is positioned as a daring and emotionally driven story that explores the life and legacy of one in all Maharashtra’s most celebrated cultural icons. The film also features Randeep Hooda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in pivotal roles.
The project marks the primary collaboration between Shraddha Kapoor and director Laxman Utekar. While each have delivered successful movies for Maddock Movies through the years, they’ve largely worked on separate projects. Their association in Eetha brings together two key creative forces closely linked with the production banner.
For Shraddha Kapoor, the film represents one other necessary project in her long-standing association with Maddock Movies. The actress has been a central figure within the studio’s highly successful horror-comedy universe and now takes on a totally different challenge with a performance-driven biographical role.
The film also continues the successful creative partnership between Dinesh Vijan and Laxman Utekar. Over time, the duo has collaborated on several notable movies, including Luka Chuppi, Mimi, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke and Chhaava. Music for Eetha has been composed by the acclaimed duo Ajay-Atul, adding further anticipation amongst audiences.
On the box office, Eetha is predicted to face competition from Vvan, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia. The film is being jointly backed by Balaji Telefilms and TVF.
