Shraddha Kapoor to Portray Tamasha Legend Vithabai in Eetha
After winning hearts with Stree, actress Shraddha Kapoor has reunited with producer Dinesh Vijan for an exciting new project titled Eetha. The film, directed by Luka Chuppi and Chhaava fame Laxman Utekar, officially went on floors last night, marking the beginning of one of the most anticipated biographical dramas of 2025.
In Eetha, Shraddha steps into the shoes of the iconic Vithabai Narayangaonkar, the legendary tamasha performer who revolutionized Maharashtra’s folk theatre. Known for her unmatched stage charisma, expressive singing, and powerful dance performances, Vithabai remains a cultural icon whose legacy continues to inspire generations. Born in July 1935 in Pandharpur, Solapur district, she began performing as a child and went on to receive the President’s Award twice — in 1957 and 1990 — for her invaluable contribution to the performing arts. – Shraddha Kapoor to Portray Tamasha Legend Vithabai in Eetha
The collaboration between Shraddha Kapoor, Dinesh Vijan, and Laxman Utekar has already generated immense buzz. Fans are eager to see Shraddha embrace a deeply rooted Marathi character — a departure from her recent commercial roles. The film also promises to be a musical spectacle, with celebrated composer duo Ajay–Atul crafting the soundtrack, ensuring a soulful connection to Maharashtra’s folk traditions.
Explaining the title, the makers revealed that while Vittha (derived from Vitthala) is commonly used, in certain remote regions, the deity’s name is lovingly pronounced as Eetha. The film’s title pays homage to this local pronunciation, grounding the story in authenticity and regional flavor. – Shraddha Kapoor to Portray Tamasha Legend Vithabai in Eetha
With its rich cultural backdrop, strong creative team, and Shraddha Kapoor leading the narrative, Eetha is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally resonant and musically captivating films in recent years.
Fans and film enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting more glimpses from the sets — as Eetha promises not just to tell the story of Vithabai, but to celebrate the timeless spirit of Maharashtra’s folk art on the big screen.
