So, how much did Urvashi Rautela earn for her role in Daaku Maharaaj?

As per the reports, Urvashi was paid a staggering Rs 2.5 crore for her role. Despite having limited screen time, her presence in the Dabidi Dibidi song was a major highlight, making her one of the highest-paid actresses for a special appearance in a Telugu film.

This isn't the first time Urvashi has made waves in Tollywood. Earlier, she was seen in a special song in the hit Boss Party song in Waltair Veerayya. Her performance with Chiranjeevi had won the hearts of the masses.

However, the latest reports about her scenes being removed from the OTT version have shocked fans. According to NDTV, Netflix has removed Urvashi's portions. However, the streaming giant has not confirmed the development.

The controversy started earlier when the official streaming announcement poster was released, omitting Urvashi despite her pivotal role in the movie's success. While actors like Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, and Shraddha Srinath were featured in the promotional material, Urvashi was nowhere to be seen, sparking discussions on social media.

With Daaku Maharaaj set to premiere on Netflix on Friday, February 21, it remains to be seen whether the OTT version will be revised to include her scenes or if fans will have to settle for the theatrical version to witness her electrifying presence.
