The makers have officially unveiled the teaser of Shraddha Kapoor’s Eetha. The film is based on the life of legendary Maharashtrian Lavani artiste Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar.
The teaser opens with a large crowd gathered to watch a Lavani performance. While dancers take the stage, the audience grows restless, repeatedly demanding to see Eetha. “Eetha ko bulao!” they shout, insisting that they have paid to watch her perform.
As the crowd becomes increasingly impatient, it is revealed that Eetha is backstage, in the middle of giving birth. However, despite the concerns of those around her, she refuses to stay away from the stage. When people urge her to rest, she delivers a powerful line: “Padi padi mari toh bechari kehlaungi, naachte hue mari toh misaal ban jaaungi.” (If I die in helplessness, I’ll be called a poor soul. If I die dancing, I’ll become a legend.)
Determined as ever, Eetha walks onto the stage and begins performing, drawing thunderous applause from the crowd. The teaser then offers glimpses into her extraordinary journey, showcasing her iconic dance performances, the admiration she commanded and the challenges she faced. It also highlights the film’s grand scale, lavish sets, elaborate costumes and visually rich recreations of the era.

The teaser of the film was also recently screened in theatres alongside Cocktail 2. It was leaked online shortly afterwards, with many netizens praising Shraddha Kapoor’s striking transformation.
Eetha is inspired by the life of legendary Tamasha artiste Vithabai Narayangaonkar, one of the most celebrated names in Marathi folk theatre. The film is directed by Laxman Utekar and also stars Randeep Hooda and Anant Joshi, among others. Produced by Maddock Films, it will be released theatrically on August 28.
