The talk surrounding the title of Shraddha Kapoor’s upcoming film Eetha<\/em> has taken a fresh turn after Vithabai Narayangaonkar’s eldest daughter, Mangala Bansode Karavadikar, publicly expressed her support for the title. Mangala’s clarification follows objections reportedly raised by Vithabai’s sons, Kailash and Rajesh Narayangaonkar, along along with her grandson Mohit Narayangaonkar, who were said to have questioned the makers’ alternative of title. Nonetheless, Mangala has now stated that the family has no objection and explained the importance of the name.<\/p>\n Vithabai Narayangaonkar\u2019s daughter clarifies family\u2019s stand on Shraddha Kapoor\u2019s Eetha after title row: \u201cWe’ve no objection\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Talking to The Times of India, the 75-year-old Tamasha artiste and President’s Award recipient said, “We’ve no objection to the film’s title. I actually have spoken with Mohit and have requested him to not give out any further statements on the identical. The title is suitable because in those days, people from the villages where my mother performed would often call her Eetha.”<\/p>\n She further revealed that she had already shared this detail with director Laxman Utekar during his research for the film. In keeping with Mangala, the filmmaker had met the family extensively while preparing to bring Vithabai Narayangaonkar’s life to the massive screen.<\/p>\n “I actually have been acting on stage since I used to be seven years old and have heard people address my mother by that name. We’re pleased that through this film people will come to learn about my mother and the way dedicated she was to her craft,” she added.<\/p>\n The clarification comes amid an ongoing discussion over the film’s title. Soon after the teaser of Eetha<\/em> was unveiled, several political leaders, including members of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), objected to the title, arguing that a biopic on the legendary artiste must have been named after Vithabai Narayangaonkar. Reports also suggested that some members of her family shared similar concerns, further fuelling the controversy.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, Mangala’s latest remarks indicate that at the least one among Vithabai’s closest relations supports the makers’ creative decision and believes the title carries historical significance. In keeping with her, “Eetha” was a reputation by which audiences in villages affectionately addressed Vithabai during her performances, making it closely related to the celebrated artiste.<\/p>\n Directed by Laxman Utekar, Eetha<\/em> stars Shraddha Kapoor within the role of the enduring Lavani performer. Produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Movies banner, the biographical drama also features Randeep Hooda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in pivotal roles.<\/p>\n The film is scheduled to release in theatres on August 28, coinciding with the Raksha Bandhan festive weekend. The recently released teaser has already generated significant buzz, with Shraddha Kapoor’s transformation into Vithabai Narayangaonkar earning praise from audiences.<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Shraddha Kapoor\u2019s Eetha sparks title row: NCP and Vithabai Narayangaonkar\u2019s family seek title change<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Catch us for contemporary Bollywood News, Latest Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Latest Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today & Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Vithabai](\"https:\/\/stat4.bollywoodhungama.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Eetha-Title-Row.jpeg\")
