Sharing her happiness, Akshara revealed that being cast in such a prestigious Bollywood production gave her “goosebumps.” She said she feels grateful to be working with an accomplished team and is excited to share screen space with Shraddha Kapoor.
Although the actress remained tight-lipped about her character, she hinted that audiences can expect something surprising when the film releases. Her statement has only increased curiosity among fans, who are eager to see her in a completely new avatar.
Akshara’s entry into Eetha also reflects the growing recognition of regional cinema talent in Bollywood. Over the past few years, actors from various regional industries have successfully crossed over into Hindi films, and Akshara now joins that list.
What Is Eetha About?
Directed by Laxman Utekar, known for films like Mimi and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Eetha is a biographical musical drama inspired by the life of a legendary folk performer. Shraddha Kapoor plays the lead role of an artist deeply connected to Maharashtra’s traditional Tamasha and Lavani theatre.
The recently released teaser has already generated significant buzz online. One of its most talked-about moments shows Shraddha’s character continuing to perform on stage despite being in intense labour pain, promising an emotionally charged and powerful story. With Akshara Singh joining the ensemble, the film is expected to become even more appealing, especially among audiences in North India who have followed her remarkable journey in Bhojpuri cinema.
A Career Entering a New Phase
Akshara Singh has built an impressive career with hit Bhojpuri films like Satya and Tabadala, while also establishing herself as a successful playback singer and television personality. Known for her strong screen presence and expressive performances, she enjoys a massive fan following across India.
Apart from Eetha, the actress is also set to appear in the much-awaited multi-starrer Welcome to the Jungle, making 2026 one of the biggest years of her career. As Akshara prepares to make her Bollywood breakthrough, fans are eagerly waiting to witness how the Bhojpuri superstar shines alongside Shraddha Kapoor in what promises to be one of the year’s most talked-about films. If her journey so far is any indication, this could be just the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
