Shraddha's Eetha Dodges Yash's Toxic, Locks December 4 Slot

Shraddha Kapoor’s much-awaited period drama Eetha is making a strategic move at the box office. According to reports doing the rounds in the Indian media, the film has been rescheduled to release on December 4, 2026, avoiding a potential clash with Yash’s action thriller Toxic.

The shift marks a calculated decision to give both films breathing room during the festive season’s competitive box office terrain. Industry chatter suggests the filmmakers saw an opportunity to carve out its own space rather than battling it out head-to-head with another big-ticket release.

Directed by Laxman Utekar, Eetha brings to life the story of Vithabai Narayangaonkar, the legendary Lavani queen whose artistry left an indelible mark on Maharashtra’s cultural landscape. With Shraddha shouldering the lead, the biographical drama is positioned as one of the year’s more ambitious period pieces.

The December window offers the film a solo run, at least initially, letting it find its footing before the year-end rush truly begins. As per latest reports, this strategic repositioning could work in Eetha’s favor, giving Shraddha’s performance the spotlight it deserves. We’re keeping our cameras trained on how this plays out at the box office.
