For the unversed, Urvashi plays the role of a police officer in Daaku Maharaaj. Her introduction scene was about her being clad in a yoga avatar, and the internet was left in splits over her sexual representation of women. During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter India, the actress was asked about her character being sexually portrayed. She said:

"My stance is that when I sign a film, I trust and believe in my director. When a character is written, it's part of the story's narrative. As actors, we can't interfere too much or dictate how a character should be portrayed. Once we sign a film, we cannot question the director's vision."

Urvashi also noted that filmmaking isn't just about her perspective; it's the director who is the captain of the ship. Their decision is the most important. A director deserves creative freedom, and as an actor, she respects that. Thaman S directed the film.

Urvashi Rautela's Dabidi Dibidi dance controversy

It all began when Urvashi and Nandamuri were slammed by netizens who found the dance steps of Dabidi Dibidi vulgar. For the uninitiated, the dance was choreographed by Shekhar Master. Going ahead in the same interview, the actress revealed that neither she nor her team anticipated this reaction. Urvashi thought the song would be taken positively and was made for the fans of Nandamuri Balakrishna. All the lyrics were made, keeping in mind the mindset. Urvashi did not find anything wrong in Dabidi Dibidi choreography and said:

"When you talk about my choreography, it's actually very simple. There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, if you just focus on me in the frame, you'll see that it's really fantastic. I always ensure my identity remains separate from my work. It's important to receive feedback wholeheartedly and not let it overshadow my passion and commitment to my craft."

During rehearsals, everything was smooth and under control.
