Fact Check: Did Netflix Delete Urvashi Rautela’s Scenes From ‘Daaku Maharaj’?

Mumbai: After recent reports suggested that Urvashi Rautela’s scenes from Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ‘Daaku Maharaaj’ had been deleted by Netflix, sources have now claimed that there is no truth in these reports.

When Netflix’s announcement poster didn’t feature Urvashi, rumours started doing the rounds that her scenes were deleted from the movie just before its online release.

“The reports around scenes featuring Urvashi are absolutely false. There’s no truth to the reports. Nothing has been cut by Netflix. The same theatrical run of Daaku Maharaj will be released on OTT. Every scene which featured in the theatrical release will make way to the digital world,” the source said.

‘Daaku Maharaaj’ will be streaming on Netflix from February 21.

The announcement poster featured Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal and Shraddha Srinath.

“Meet the forces behind the fear (eyes and fire emojis) Watch Daaku Maharaaj on Netflix, out 21 February in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi! #DaakuMaharaajOnNetflix,” read the post.

Directed by Bobby Kolli and produced by Sithara Entertainment, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios, ‘Daaku Maharaaj’ is a Telugu-language action drama.

The film, which was released in theatres on January 12, earned ₹90 crore in India and ₹125.8 crore worldwide, according to Sacnilk.
