Overview
- Maddock Films announced on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, that Eetha has been postponed from August 28 and will now open in theatres on December 4.
- The makers presented the shift as a tactical move to avoid a box‑office clash with Yash’s Toxic that was scheduled for the same late‑August weekend.
- Eetha is a biopic of Marathi Lavani and Tamasha artist Vithabai Narayangaonkar starring Shraddha Kapoor, with Randeep Hooda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in key roles and music by Ajay‑Atul.
- A short title dispute surfaced after the teaser drew attention, with the NCP film wing and some family members questioning the name Eetha, but the director later explained the choice and family representatives said they were satisfied.
- The December 4 slot places Eetha in a crowded opening alongside Prabhas’ Fauzi and an Akshay Kumar‑Anees Bazmee release, a reality that could force further date reshuffles, affect screen allocation, and shape the film’s marketing push.
