Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor is in the news these days for her next film 'Itha'. In this project, she will be seen playing the role of Maharashtra's famous Lavani artiste Vithabai Narayangaonkar. The trailer of the film was released on 30 October. After this came to light, reactions of the audience were seen on social media and discussion also started about Shraddha's acting.
However, the trailer not only gave a glimpse of the story and characters but also hinted at the film's digital release. Viewers who watched the credits at the end of the video carefully saw the name Netflix there. This made it clear that after the completion of the theatrical release, the film will be made available on this OTT platform.
Shraddha's character is based on the life of Vithabai.
In 'Itha', Shraddha Kapoor is playing the role of an artiste whose identity is associated with the world of Lavani dance. Vithabai's name holds special importance in the field of folk art and stage presentations of Maharashtra. Bringing this character on screen is being considered a different kind of challenge for the actress. After the release of the trailer, curiosity has increased among the audience about the story of the film and Shraddha's look. Randeep Hooda and Zeeshan Ayyub will also be seen in important roles in the film. The presence of these actors has also attracted the attention of the audience regarding this project.
Earlier preparations were made for release in August
Earlier the date of August 28 was fixed for the film. However, later the producers changed the programme. Now there are plans to release it in theaters on December 4. Due to this change, audiences will have to wait longer than the previously announced date to watch the film. At present the focus of the producers is on theatrical release.
Likely to come on OTT by February 2027
With the name of Netflix appearing in the trailer of the film, its digital platform has been revealed. In the case of Hindi films, OTT releases generally take place within a period of about eight weeks after their theatrical release. Based on this estimate, 'Itha' can reach Netflix by February 2027. However, its last date has not been announced yet. The official date of streaming can be announced by the producers only after the theatrical release. In such a situation, the audience's eyes are currently fixed on the theater release to be held on December 4.
