It looks like Shraddha Kapoor won’t be gracing the big screen on August 28 after all. Her much-anticipated film Eetha has been pushed back, with the new release date now set for December 4, 2026.
Originally, fans were excited for the film to hit theaters on August 28, but it seems they’ll have to hold on a bit longer for Shraddha’s next appearance. Maddock Films shared the updated date along with a poster and the catchy tagline, “Toofan ke liye taiyaar rehna,” hinting at the excitement the filmmakers are promising.

This new release date is particularly intriguing because Eetha unites two talents who have recently enjoyed significant box office success. Shraddha was last seen in Stree 2, which impressively crossed the Rs 500 crore mark, while director Laxman Utekar also celebrated a major win with Chhaava, which matched that impressive figure at the Indian box office.

Aug 11, 2026Both films were produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, making Eetha a key project for the production house. The collaboration between Shraddha and Utekar naturally sparks curiosity, especially following their recent triumphs.
For Shraddha, the stakes feel a bit different this time. Stree 2 marked one of the biggest successes of her career, boosting her popularity among fans. Eetha now presents her with a chance to showcase her next move after such a monumental hit. While details about the plot and her character remain under wraps, this only heightens the anticipation surrounding the film.
Releasing in December could also work in Eetha’s favor. This month has historically been a bustling time for movie releases, with audiences flocking to theaters for films that promise grand entertainment during the holiday season. A December 4 launch gives the team ample time to ramp up promotions and build excitement before the film finally hits theaters.
On the flip side, the new release date places the film in a more competitive section of the calendar. The team behind Eetha will need to generate some serious buzz before December rolls around, especially since there are already high expectations for a Shraddha Kapoor and Maddock Films collaboration following the success of Stree 2.
For now, there's no need to hold off until August. Eetha has officially shifted to December 4, giving Shraddha Kapoor’s fans a fresh date to mark on their calendars. If the film truly delivers the “toofan” that Maddock Films has promised, the promotional efforts will need to clearly demonstrate to audiences why the wait is going to be worthwhile.
