‘Daaku Maharaaj’ Set for Netflix Premiere Amidst New Controversy
The blockbuster Telugu film ‘Daaku Maharaaj’, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, is set to make its OTT debut on Netflix on February 21, 2025. Directed by Bobby Kolli, the film was produced by Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios and had a strong box office run. However, the recent buzz surrounding the movie is not about its success but about Urvashi Rautela’s unexpected removal from the latest promotional materials.
Urvashi Rautela’s Absence Raises Questions
In a new Netflix promotional poster, lead actors Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, and Shraddha Srinath are prominently featured. However, fans were surprised to see Urvashi Rautela missing, despite her active involvement in the film’s promotion.
Social Media Erupts with Speculation
Fans did not miss the omission, and many took to social media to share their reactions:
“India’s first actress to disappear from a ₹105 crore movie poster?”
“Did Netflix just erase Urvashi from ‘Daaku Maharaaj’?”
Did Controversy Lead to Urvashi’s Exclusion?
Urvashi Rautela was among the most vocal promoters of ‘Daaku Maharaaj’, frequently mentioning its box office numbers. However, her controversial statements about luxury gifts and the Saif Ali Khan stabbing incident led to backlash. Many speculate that this could be the reason behind her removal from the film’s promotional campaign.
