Daaku Maharaaj stars Nandamuri Balakrishna in the titular role, alongside Bobby Deol, Shraddha Srinath, Pragya Jaiswal and Urvashi Rautela.
Nandamuri Balakrishna’s action-packed entertainer Daaku Maharaaj was a massive hit in theatres following its release on January 12, 2025. Now, as the film gears up for its digital debut, reports suggest that scenes featuring actress Urvashi Rautela might be removed from the OTT version.
According to a report by NDTV, Netflix, which is set to stream the film, has allegedly edited out Urvashi’s scenes before its premiere. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding this development, and audiences will have to wait until Daaku Maharaaj drops on February 21, 2025, to know for sure.
Adding to the speculation, Netflix previously shared an announcement poster for the film that featured the lead cast but noticeably omitted Urvashi Rautela. This move fueled rumors that the platform may have decided to exclude her from the streaming version altogether.
Daaku Maharaaj stars Nandamuri Balakrishna in a powerful role, portraying an officer who, along with his wife, takes a stand against injustice. The story follows his transformation into a fearless bandit known as Daaku Maharaaj, as he fights against an oppressive and influential family to bring justice to the people.
Apart from NBK in the lead, the film also features a stellar ensemble cast, including Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, Shraddha Srinath, Rishi, Chandini Chowdary, Urvashi Rautela, and Pradeep Rawat in key roles. Directed by Bobby Kolli, the film boasts music and background score by Thaman, cinematography by Vijay Kartik Kannan, and editing by Ruben and Niranjan Devaramane.
Released during Sankranthi 2025, Daaku Maharaaj received a strong response from both critics and audiences, solidifying Balakrishna’s stronghold at the box office.
Meanwhile, Nandamuri Balakrishna is already gearing up for his next big release, Akhanda 2, directed by Boyapati Srinu. The sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Akhanda is highly anticipated, with fans eagerly awaiting Balakrishna’s return in yet another high-energy action spectacle.
As the controversy surrounding Daaku Maharaaj’s OTT release continues, fans are curious to see whether Urvashi Rautela’s scenes will indeed be removed or if this is just speculation.
