Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in the hit Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank, but an update on her next, Eetha has been awaited by fans. While updates would keep coming up now and then about the shoot of the biopic, there was nothing concrete. Until today.
The makers have finally announced that the film is releasing this year. They have written in their announcement that producer Dinesh Vijan and director Laxman Utekar, after delivering the bit Chhaava in 2025, are reuniting for Eetha, “a bold and emotionally charged film” that features Shraddha in a powerful, author-backed role.
