Here’s what happened

Urvashi Rautela’s absence from Daaku Maharaaj’s release poster on Netflix was talk of the town. Although many other leading actors like Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, and Shraddha Srinath were highlighted in the release, Urvashi Rautela’s name did not feature anywhere in the releases. Although Rautela has a key role in the movie and is promoting it, she was nowhere to be seen on the release posters, prompting her fans to query the platform for their choice.

Netflix subsequently published individual character slides, and two images of Rautela were featured. The move, however, did little to quell the increasing outrage among fans, who perceived that her work in the movie had been downplayed.

It was rumoured that all of Urvashi Rautela’s acting scenes were removed from the Netflix release of Daaku Maharaaj. This has left many of her fans disheartened, particularly those who had been waiting eagerly to see her perform in the digital release of the film following its theatrical success. The film, which earned a whopping ₹105 crore at the box office, received widespread acclaim for its action sequences and engaging storyline.

In response to recent rumors circulating online, sources close to Netflix have officially clarified that no scenes featuring actress Urvashi Rautela have been cut from the film in question. They confirmed that the movie will be released on the platform in its full theatrical form, just as it was seen in theaters, with no alterations to its content.
