Big numbers before a film even hits theaters usually mean one thing: someone is very confident. This time that someone is PVR Inox, and the film is Shraddha Kapoor’s *Eetha*. The reported deal is huge for any film, and even more striking for a women-led story.’

### Eetha: The Deal

According to Pinkvilla’s exclusive report, PVR Inox has bagged the **domestic distribution rights** of *Eetha* for **Rs 90 crore**, reportedly on an **advance basis**. Many in the trade now consider the film a **dark horse of 2026**.

| Detail | Info |

| **Film** | Eetha |
| **Lead actor** | [Shraddha Kapoor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shraddha_Kapoor) |
| **Director** | Laxman Utekar |
| **Producer** | Maddock Films |
| **Distributor** | PVR Inox (all-India) |
| **Reported deal** | Rs 90 crore (advance basis) |
| **Release date** | December 4, 2026 |

### What Is Eetha About?

*Eetha* is based on the real-life stories of several Tamasha artists. The film follows the journey of Lavani legend **Vithabai Narayangaonkar**, with Shraddha Kapoor in what is being called a never-seen-before avatar. The trailer dropped a few days ago, and the response has been strong, especially for its grand scale and its depiction of Marathi culture.

### The Cast and Crew

| Role | Name |
| --- | --- |
| **Lead** | Shraddha Kapoor |
| **Supporting cast** | Randeep Hooda, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub, Siddharth Jadhav and others |
| **Director** | Laxman Utekar |
| **Music** | Ajay-Atul |

The music is touted as one of the film’s biggest highlights, and with the Ajay-Atul duo behind it, that’s easy to believe.

### Why This Deal Matters

There are three reasons the industry is talking:

- **A rare vote of confidence.** A Rs 90 crore advance for a women-centric film shows how much the distributor believes in it.
- **A proven pair.** This is the first time Shraddha and Laxman Utekar are working together, and both come off Rs 500 crore grossers: *Stree 2* for her and *Chhaava* for him.
- **Strong buzz.** The trailer, the culture-rich setting and the star’s transformation have built anticipation well ahead of release.

A caution is worth keeping in mind. A distribution deal shows confidence, but the film still has to deliver at the box office, and the Rs 90 crore figure puts a high bar on its theatrical run.
