The trailer of the upcoming film ‘Eetha’, starring Shraddha Kapoor, was unveiled on Friday, showcasing the actress in a role inspired by legendary Lavani dancer Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar.
The trailer opens with the lead character grappling with inner conflict, self-doubt and fading hope before making a comeback with a Tamasha company. Along the way, she earns respect and admiration for her performances.
Featuring fast-paced dance sequences edited to a crisp, pulsating score by musical duo Ajay-Atul, the trailer highlights Shraddha’s command of the screen. Drawing on her Marathi cultural background, the actress delivers a performance set against the energetic beats of traditional folk music.
The film also features Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Nana Patekar in his posthumous performance, Randeep Hooda and Anant Joshi.
‘Eetha’ is inspired by the life of Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar, a celebrated Marathi folk artist, Lavani dancer and Tamasha performer from Maharashtra. She belonged to a family of traditional Tamasha artistes and developed a passion for singing, dancing and acting at a young age.
Through her extraordinary talent, expressive performances and dedication, Vithabai went on to become one of Maharashtra’s most celebrated performers.
Popularly known as “Tamasha Samradni” (Empress of Tamasha), she received national recognition and Presidential honours for her contribution to folk art. Her life was marked by dedication, courage and determination. Despite personal and financial difficulties, she continued to preserve and promote Maharashtra’s traditional folk culture and worked for the welfare of fellow Tamasha artists.
In 2006, the Maharashtra government established the Vithabai Narayangaonkar Lifetime Achievement Award in her memory to honour outstanding contributions to Tamasha.
Produced by Maddock Films and directed by Laxman Utekar, ‘Eetha’ is scheduled to release in theatres on December 4, 2026.
