‘Daaku Maharaaj’ Set for Netflix Premiere, But Without Urvashi Rautela?
The Telugu blockbuster ‘Daaku Maharaaj’, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, is all set to stream on Netflix from February 21, 2025. Directed by Bobby Kolli and produced by Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios, the film was a major theatrical success. However, the latest controversy surrounding the movie isn’t about its box office numbers—it’s about Urvashi Rautela’s sudden removal from the promotional material.
Urvashi Rautela Missing from Netflix Poster
When Netflix recently unveiled a new promotional poster for the film, it featured lead actors Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, and Shraddha Srinath. However, Urvashi Rautela was nowhere to be seen, leaving fans confused.
Social Media Reacts to Urvashi’s Absence
Fans were quick to notice the actress’s removal from the promotional material and flooded social media with sarcastic remarks. Some comments included:
- “India’s first actress to be removed from a ₹105 crore movie poster!”
- “Where is Miss Rolex?” (a reference to her flaunting an expensive diamond-studded watch during promotions).
Urvashi’s Promotional Efforts & Controversy
Despite being heavily involved in the film’s promotions, Urvashi Rautela found herself in hot water after making headlines for discussing her luxury gifts while commenting on the Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident. This statement led to widespread backlash, which some speculate may have influenced her removal from promotional campaigns.
‘Daaku Maharaaj’ Box Office Success
The film enjoyed strong box office performance, earning:
₹90 crore in India
₹125.8 crore worldwide
As the Netflix release approaches, it remains uncertain whether Urvashi Rautela will be acknowledged in further promotions or completely sidelined from the streaming platform’s marketing strategy.
