On Sunday, Netflix shared a poster of Daaku Maharaaj on Instagram, announcing its OTT release date. While the poster featured Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Pragya Jaiswal, and Shraddha Srinath, Urvashi was missing. The caption read, “We would just like to say pranaam maharaj. Watch Daaku Maharaaj, out on 21 Feb on Netflix!”
Internet reacts to Urvashi’s absence on poster
The internet had amusing reactions to Urvashi being left out. One user commented, “But where is the lead actress?” Another joked, “India’s first woman to be removed from the poster of a 105+ crore film.” A different comment read, “First Indian lead actress to not be seen on her film poster.” Another asked, “@urvashirautela you were in this movie, right? Can’t see you on the poster.” Another wrote, “Where is miss rolex?”
Urvashi Rautela extensively promoted the film and boasted about its success in several interviews. She even faced backlash for flaunting her expensive watch while discussing the film’s ₹100 crore box office collection and showing concern for Saif Ali Khan.
