Directed by Laxman Utekar, Eetha is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 28.

Set between the 1950s and the 1980s, the film is expected to chronicle Vithabai's rise to prominence, her personal struggles, and her lasting contribution to Indian performing arts. By exploring her journey both on and off the stage, Eetha aspires to present an inspiring portrait of courage, dedication, and artistic excellence. The teaser suggests that the film will combine emotional storytelling with historical and cultural significance, making it one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
