In a teaser for the film, which was released in July, Bhau Gaonkar Tamasha Mandal starts the show by putting on a performance as a large crowd waits to watch Eetha. When she does not appear on stage, the audience starts calling out, 'Call Eethabai.'
Backstage, Eethabai is seen nine months pregnant and giving birth to her baby herself. Moments later, the sound of a newborn crying fills the space. Despite what has just happened, Eetha worries about getting ready and tells herself, 'I can't go out like this; I need to get ready.'
She then makes her way to the stage and performs for the audience. After giving birth, Eetha is warned, 'You'll die.' Her response shows just how determined she is to perform. 'If I die lying down, I'll be called a poor, helpless woman. But if I die while dancing, I'll become a legend.'
The teaser ends with Zeeshan Ayyub delivering a line that captures Eetha's larger-than-life persona: 'Paan mein paan chakhna ho toh meetha! Aur toofan ko nachte dekhna ho toh... Eetha.'
