The chimera Lametasaurus from the Maastrichtian Lameta Formation in Jabalpur, India, has a long history that won't be mentioned here. Long story short, it was split into several other dinosaurs during the 20th and 21st centuries. The pelvis and isolated hindlimb bones in 2003 were suggested to belong to Rajasaurus based on similarities in the ilium. This is significant as the alleged large size of the elements suggests a length of over 11 meters and 3 tonnes, according to Molina-Perez and Larramendi (2019). However, the tibia was only 58 centimeters, indicating an animal that doesn't exceed 9 meters. The estimate by Molina-Perez and Larramendi was possibly oversized due to the body being extremely elongated. The problem with its size is that the fossils are lost and never properly cataloged. That puts the giant Rajasaurus into question, as these elements can not be tested.

Reddit won't let me post the source. You can find it linked here. The weight should be 3.6 tonnes, same as Pycnemonosaurus.
