For the family, the issue goes beyond the film's name. They believe a biopic celebrating Vithabai's extraordinary journey should bear her name, ensuring future generations remember the woman who played a defining role in shaping Maharashtra's Lavani and Tamasha heritage
Shraddha Kapoor's upcoming film Eetha has run into controversy even before its theatrical release. While the teaser received praise for Shraddha's striking transformation into legendary Lavani artist Vithabai Narayangaonkar, the film's title has become the centre of debate.
After the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) questioned why the biopic wasn't named after the celebrated folk artist, Vithabai's family has now joined the demand, urging the makers to rename the film in her honour.
Why is Eetha facing criticism?
According to a TV9 Marathi report, the NCP's Film and Cultural Department has objected to the title Eetha, arguing that a biopic based on Vithabai Narayangaonkar's life should carry her name.
