About Eetha Movie
Meanwhile, Eetha is an upcoming musical drama featuring Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role and directed by Laxman Utekar. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on December 4, 2026. Inspired by the extraordinary life of legendary Marathi Tamasha and Lavani performer Vithabai Narayangaonkar, the story spans four decades. It follows a young folk dancer who overcomes societal prejudice, personal betrayals and financial struggles to make her mark. Shraddha portrays Eetha Gaokar, a fictional character inspired by Vithabai’s journey and the challenges faced by several female folk artists across Maharashtra.
The film is not a conventional biopic but celebrates the resilience, passion and dedication of women who have shaped Maharashtra’s folk performance traditions. One of the most inspiring incidents from Vithabai’s life, which forms a key part of the film’s narrative, is her remarkable commitment to the stage. She reportedly returned to perform during a show after giving birth backstage, reflecting her extraordinary dedication to her art and audience.
