Theatrical prints for Maddock Films’ highly anticipated Cocktail 2 are officially out today, June 19, and the studio brought some major previews along for the ride. Fans heading to theaters for the Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna feature are also getting the first look at two of the studio’s biggest upcoming projects. The theatrical cut includes the official teasers for Shraddha Kapoor’s Eetha and Rajkummar Rao’s Prahaar – The Ujjwal Nikam Story.
The Eetha teaser introduces Kapoor in a completely unexpected look, stepping into the role of legendary Marathi Tamasha artist Vithabai Narayangaonkar. The footage opens immediately with a crowd loudly demanding a dance performance from her character. The Central Board of Film Certification cleared the teaser with a U/A 13+ rating on June 17, clocking in at exactly 2 minutes and 18 seconds.
Producer Dinesh Vijan is using the large theatrical footprint of Cocktail 2 to kick off the promotional run for Maddock’s late summer slate, confirming the teaser attachment reports from earlier this week. Avinash Arun’s Prahaar is slated to hit theaters first on August 7. Eetha will follow closely behind with an official theatrical release on August 28, 2026, lining up with the Raksha Bandhan holiday.
The project reunites director Laxman Utekar with Maddock Films, according to The Hindu, acting as their immediate follow-up to the 2025 historical drama Chhaava. Eetha also features Randeep Hooda and Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub in co-starring roles. This cross-promotional release strategy is a familiar playbook for Maddock. The studio previously attached the Bhool Chuk Maaf teaser to Chhaava and ran the Chhaava teaser exclusively on the theatrical prints of Stree 2.
