Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor is set to mesmerize fans as she steps into the shoes of the iconic Marathi folk performer, Vithabai Narayangaonkar, in the upcoming biographical drama, Eetha. The official teaser, released this Tuesday, gives viewers a powerful look at the life of the woman who redefined the Lavani and Tamasha art forms.
The film is directed by the acclaimed Laxman Utekar, the creative mind behind popular hits like Mimi and Chhaava. Produced by Maddock Films and Kathputli Creations, the movie promises to be a deep dive into the extraordinary journey of Vithabai, a performer who remained a cultural force for several decades.
This official release follows a wave of excitement after unauthorized clips from the movie began circulating on social media. These leaked videos, which reportedly appeared during screenings of Cocktail 2, gave fans an early look at Kapoor’s impressive transformation, sparking positive reactions across the internet.
Vithabai Narayangaonkar was a titan in the world of Indian folk theatre. Her immense talent earned her prestigious recognition from the President of India on two separate occasions—in 1957 and 1990. The film aims to honor her legacy and her significant role in preserving India's rich artistic traditions.
Fans of the Stree franchise will be pleased to see Shraddha Kapoor teaming up once again with producer Dinesh Vijan. The star-studded cast also features Randeep Hooda and Anant Joshi. Movie lovers should mark their calendars, as Eetha is officially scheduled to hit the big screens on August 28.
