The teaser of Eetha is out. It offers a glimpse of Shraddha Kapoor's powerful transformation into legendary Lavani artiste Vithabai Narayangaonkar. The biographical drama has already created buzz online, with fans praising the actor's intense performance and striking screen presence.
After making several rounds online following its unexpected leak from the theatrical screenings of Cocktail 2, the makers of Eetha have finally unveiled the teaser, which created buzz online on Tuesday. Showcasing Shraddha Kapoor in a divine avatar of legendary Marathi Tamasha and Lavani artiste Vithabai, the 2-minute-and-4-second teaser sparked curiosity and excitement among cinephiles.
Featuring a striking transformation of Shraddha Kapoor as Eetha, the teaser of the biographical drama has generated massive buzz.
The clip begins with an angry crowd shouting and demanding Eetha to come on stage to perform and entertain them. The visuals then shift to Vithabai, who is seen struggling backstage in agony as she endures intense labour pain.
Soon after giving birth, the Lavani artiste continues to carry forward her commitment to her art form and returns to the stage to perform. Making a powerful comeback, she delivers a heart-thumping dialogue about the principles of life. Towards the end, she says in Hindi, "Padi padi mari toh bechari kehlaungi, naachte hue mari toh misaal ban jaaungi" (If I die lying down, I will be called a helpless woman, but if I die while dancing, I will become an inspiration).
Soon after the teaser dropped, netizens flooded social media, expressing their excitement and admiration for Shraddha Kapoor's powerful transformation and performance.
