Shraddha Kapoor's Eetha biopic postponed to December 4

The upcoming biopic Eetha, starring Shraddha Kapoor, has been postponed from its original August 28 release date and will now arrive in theaters on December 4, 2026. The makers announced the new date on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, sharing a poster for the film. The change moves the film away from a direct box office clash with the action thriller Toxic, which is scheduled for release on August 26.

The film, directed by Laxman Utekar, is based on the life of Vithabai Narayangaonkar, a legendary Marathi Lavani and Tamasha performer. Narayangaonkar, known for her iconic performances, received two President awards in 1957 and 1990 for her contributions to folk tradition. The title "Eetha" was a point of initial discussion, with some family members and cultural groups suggesting alternatives like "Vitha" or "Vithabai," but the director later explained the reasoning to the family, who were reportedly satisfied.

Eetha marks the first collaboration between Shraddha Kapoor and director Laxman Utekar, though both have worked extensively with producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films. The film also stars Randeep Hooda, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Nana Patekar. It is produced by Maddock Films...
