Shraddha Kapoor Reunites with Dinesh Vijan for Cultural Drama ‘Eetha’

Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor is all set to headline Eetha, a film inspired by the life of celebrated Marathi Lavani exponent Vithabai Narayangaonkar. The makers have announced that the film will hit theatres on August 28.

The project also features Randeep Hooda and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in pivotal roles. Produced under the banner of Maddock Films, the film is backed by producer Dinesh Vijan and directed by Laxman Utekar.
