Eetha (2026) is a Hindi-language biographical musical drama that brings the extraordinary life of Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar — the legendary Marathi Tamasha and Lavani folk-theatre artist fondly called "Vitha" — to the big screen. Shraddha Kapoor plays the titular role in this Maddock Films biopic, directed by Laxman Utekar (Chhaava, Mimi) and written by Kshitij Patwardhan, with the film's title drawn from the folk legend's own nickname.
The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 4, 2026. It was originally dated August 28, 2026, but the release was postponed — the change was announced on August 11–12, 2026, according to The Hindu and Bollywood Hungama — reportedly to avoid a clash with Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 and Toxic. The music and background score are composed by Ajay–Atul. For more on the film's leading lady, read our Shraddha Kapoor biography for a look back at her journey so far.
