Urvashi Rautela's Scenes Cut from Daaku Maharaj? Netflix Breaks Silence on the Controversy

The latest controversy is about the digital release of Daaku Maharaj on Netflix, with rumors going around about the cutting of Urvashi Rautela‘s scenes. But how real is this talk? Here, we explore the controversy, the making of the film, and more.

The Rumors and Speculation

The drama began with rumors that Netflix had cut out Urvashi Rautela’s scenes from Daaku Maharaj before its OTT release. This was fueled by the release of a promotional poster that noticeably did not include any picture of Urvashi, even though she played a major role in the movie. Fans and media were buzzing with questions: Why was she absent? Did something go wrong behind the scenes?

Netflix's Response

With such rampant rumors surrounding them, Netflix stood firm. A source within the streaming giant called the news “absolutely false,” guaranteeing fans that no scenes involving Urvashi were removed from the movie. The release ensured that the OTT version would be identical to the theatrical outing, laying rest to any speculations of last-minute changes.

This is completely untrue. There is no truth to the reports. Nothing has been trimmed by Netflix. Daaku Maharaj will have the same theatrical run released on OTT.” – Netflix Source

Daaku Maharaj Urvashi Rautela's Role and the Film's Performance

Urvashi Rautela was a part of Daaku Maharaj, taking an active role in promotion and wowing crowds with her high-energy dance routines. The movie itself performed moderately at the box office, collecting Rs 90.93 crore in India and Rs 125.8 crore globally. Though there was not much enthusiasm for its Hindi release, the movie fared well in South Indian markets.

Fan Reactions

The controversy over Urvashi’s alleged scene removals led to a mix of reactions from fans. The promotional materials’ omission of Urvashi’s image caused quite a stir, with some questioning the decision and others speculating about potential behind-the-scenes issues. However, Netflix’s clarification and subsequent promotional posts, including Urvashi’s images, helped to quell the unrest.

The Dabidi Dibidi Song Controversy

Coming in for additional scrutiny was the response to the Dabidi Dibidi song starring Urvashi and Nandamuri Balakrishna. Social media followers were not slow to pillory the dance, calling it “obscene” and “vulgar.” The vast age difference between the 64-year-old Nandamuri and the 30-year-old Urvashi also came in for criticism, with some viewers feeling uneasy at the combination. It was difficult to gauge why people are discussing the choreography like this.” – Urvashi Rautela

At one of the campaign events, Urvashi found herself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Her comments on Saif Ali Khan’s stabbing were tone-deaf, as she diverted attention to the box office performance of the film and showed off her pricey jewelry. The internet did not hesitate to catch fire and lambast her insensitivity, and despite that apology, Urvashi was further criticized for deleting the post shortly after.

Looking Ahead

In the constantly changing world of Bollywood, controversies are a given. Although the rumors about Daaku Maharaj and Urvashi Rautela’s scenes may have caused a stir, Netflix’s denial and follow-up actions have served to dispel the rumors. With fans set to watch the movie in its entirety, the controversies serve to heighten the anticipation and excitement.

Daaku Maharaj promises to be a thrilling watch, uncut and unedited, just as it captivated audiences in theaters. Let’s hope this chapter of Bollywood drama concludes with fans enjoying the film and appreciating the hard work of everyone involved.
