Urvashi Rautela made headlines for her cameo in the Telugu film ‘Daaku Maharaaj’. Her song Dabidi Dibidi with Nandamuri Balakrishna was criticised for its 'vulgar' moves. Though she appeared for only three minutes, her viral interviews helped the film gain attention. Despite her small role, she charged a huge fee.

Urvashi Rautela charged Rs 3 crore for Daaku Maharaaj?

According to ET Now, Urvashi Rautela charged a staggering Rs 3 crore for a three-minute appearance in the film, amounting to Rs 1 crore per minute. This hefty fee has sparked discussion, especially given the underwhelming performance of some of her recent films at the box office.

The Telugu action-drama ‘Daaku Maharaaj’, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, is now available on Netflix from February 21. Ahead of its OTT release, rumours claimed that Urvashi Rautela’s scenes had been removed, but a reliable source confirmed that these reports are false.

"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," the source said.

The source clarified that Netflix is streaming the exact theatrical version, staying true to the producers' vision. Despite earlier speculation, no cuts were made to Rautela’s scenes.
