Riding high on the success of ‘Chhaava’, director Laxman Utekar is now preparing for the release of Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Eetha’, scheduled to arrive in theatres on August 28. The teaser for the biographical drama has already piqued audience curiosity, and reports suggest Utekar has reached out to Hrithik Roshan to helm his next project.
Hrithik Roshan is yet to respond to the offer
According to Variety India, the director has approached Hrithik with a proposal for a film he plans to direct once ‘Eetha’ hits screens. Roshan, though, is currently tied up with pre-production work on his directorial debut, ‘Krrish 4’, and has not yet responded to the offer.

Prior to that, however, the actor will make an appearance in a cameo role in Rajinikanth‘s ‘Jailer 2’, with his portions already shot on June 22 and 23 in Chennai. This marks his on-screen reunion with Thalaivar, 40 years after ‘Bhagwaan Dada’. Cameos from Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Vijay Sethupathi and Mithun Chakraborty also feature in the film.
