Eetha Might Not Be Releasing on August 28
As per reports from the film industry, Maddock Films seems to be reconsidering the release strategy for Eetha. Though no confirmation from the production house has been given yet, it does not seem like they will go ahead with their earlier stated plan of releasing the movie on August 28.
Further information regarding the new release date can be expected soon. This decision came after a great response by audiences towards the teaser of the film, which was launched along with Cocktail 2.
Reasons Behind This Decision

The final week of August was set to witness one of the biggest box office clashes of this year. Though Khosla Ka Ghosla 2 had been confirmed for the month of August.
Nevertheless, the toughest competition will come from the long-awaited movie of Yash, ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups’, set to be released on August 26. Trade analysts predict that the release of Eetha just two days later might result in splitting the audience since the movie is predicted to perform extremely well in the state of Maharashtra owing to its regional theme.
A clash avoidance might help both movies to benefit at the box office.

About Shraddha Kapoor’s Eetha

Some Possible New Dates for Movie Release
In case the filmmakers opt for a new release date, the Independence Day weekend will be a great choice, but Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947 is scheduled for August 14. Other possible dates include August 7, although the same day is booked for the release of Prahaar in Maddock Films’ repertoire.
In case there is a delay in the release, then Eetha might come out sometime in September, allowing it more time in the theaters but without much competition.
Conclusion
With the hype of Eetha featuring Shraddha Kapoor continuing to build up, all that is left for fans is to hope for some official news about the new release date. Either way, whether early or late, it seems that the makers of Eetha want to give the movie a proper cinematic release.
