The teaser of Eetha has officially got dropped by ‘Maddock Films’ and it is already making a big buzz in social media. The starteaser for Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Shraddha’ gives a strong first look of the story of legendary Maharashtrian folk artist Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar. The movie will hit theatres on 28 August 2026, providing it the Raksha Bandhan weekend.
Eetha Teaser: What It Shows
The teaser doesn’t make any excuses to set up its emotional underpinning. The scenes of Shraddha Kapoor being seen heavily pregnant, giving birth backstage and then — defying all the warnings about life-threatening risks — her walk back on stage and performing shows that the actress is strong enough to handle it. The film is raw, intense and moving.
The viral conversation: “Padi padi mari toh bechari kehlaungi, naachte hue mari toh misaal ban jaaungi” which means: falling and falling she will be called helpless, but dancing she will become a legend. The film is encapsulated in that one line.
From the outset, the period-accurate production design, traditional Lavani clothes and the cultural majesty of Tamasha folk performances make this film visually captivating.
Eetha Cast and Crew
Eetha is directed by Laxman Utekar, known for his work on Mimi and Luka Chuppi. The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan, Laxman Utekar, and Karishma Sharma under the Maddock Films banner.
The cast includes Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role, alongside Randeep Hooda, Nana Patekar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Siddharth Jadhav. Music is composed by the celebrated duo Ajay-Atul, and the screenplay is written by Kshitij Pathwardhan.
