In July, in a report published by the portal, a source was quoted saying, “The producers – Maddock Films – are wondering whether to prepone the rollout or postpone. However, it is clear that they don’t plan to bring the movie on the original rollout date – August 28. In a few days, they are expected to make an official announcement on the change of rollout date.”
Meanwhile, Announcing the new date, the makers shared in a statement, ‘After the teaser broke all records, the team behind EETHA is back with great news for cinema lovers. Directed by Laxman Utekar, produced by Dinesh Vijan, Laxman Utekar and Karishma Sharma, with music by Ajay Atul, and starring Shraddha Kapoor and Randeep Hooda, Eetha promises to bring a spirited new story to the big screen this December. Paan mein paan chakhna ho toh meetha! Aur toofan ko nachte dekhna ho toh…EETHA!”
Notably, The makers further revealed, “Maddock Films and Kathputli Creations are all set for audiences to get ready for EETHA, as the much-awaited movie arrives on the big screen on December 4, 2026.”
As per the latest buzz, The movie is based on the life of Vithabai Narayangaonkar, a renowned Marathi Tamasha and Lavani performer who rose from humble beginnings to become one of Maharashtra's celebrated folk theatre artists. Fondly known as Eetha, her life and legacy form the central narrative of the movie. It is backed by Maddock Films and Kathputli Creations and features Shraddha as Eetha Bai alongside Randeep Hooda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in pivotal roles.
In further updates, Eetha marks the first collaboration between Shraddha Kapoor and filmmaker Laxman Utekar. While both have been associated with successful projects under the Maddock Films banner, they have previously worked on separate films. The soon-to-release biographical drama brings them together for a story that takes Shraddha into a performance-driven role that is different from her work in Maddock's horror-comedy franchise.
On top of that, Adding to the movie's music lineup is the acclaimed composer duo Ajay-Atul, who have scored the movie. With its focus on the life of a prominent figure from Maharashtra's folk theatre tradition, Eetha is now gearing up for its December 4, 2026 theatrical rollout.
