Makers Lock August 28 Release For Eetha

The release announcement puts an end to months of uncertainty surrounding the project. Backed by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films and directed by Laxman Utekar, Eetha marks the first collaboration between Shraddha Kapoor and the filmmaker.

The film is reportedly based on the life of celebrated Maharashtrian Tamasha and Lavani artist Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar, one of the most influential figures in Marathi folk theatre.

The narrative is said to span several decades, tracing her journey from the 1940s through the 1990s. Alongside her rise to fame, the film will also explore the personal and professional challenges she encountered throughout her life.
