The longtime fan of Telugu cinema and former Australian cricket player David Warner is about to make his Tollywood debut. The next action-comedy ‘Robinhood’ will feature a special cameo from Warner, who is well-known for his unceasing social media praise of renowned Telugu films. The cricket player, who has captured fans’ interest with his humorous posts that highlight memorable movie scenes, will now display his elegance on the big screen.
Warner has long expressed his love and adoration for Tollywood films, frequently posting videos on social media of himself imitating well-known movie lines and dancing to popular Telugu songs like Pushpa’s “Srivalli.”
He has even performed well-known movie scenes in entertaining and happy Instagram Reels that he has shared with his family. Telugu moviegoers hold a special place in their hearts for him because of his passion for the culture.
The rumors and chatter around the project were heightened when producer Ravi Shankar acknowledged Warner’s attendance in Hyderabad at a promotional event. Action, adventure, and humor are all combined in Venky Kudumula’s unvarnished and thrilling adaptation of the classic Robin Hood tale. In addition to the New South Wales batter’s brief appearance, Shine Tom Chacko, Sreeleela, Rajendra Prasad, and Vennela Kishore play important parts in the movie.
“David Warner has had a minor part. I apologize, Venky. They insisted, so I had to tell them without your consent. His persona will be fascinating. I’m happy that we’re introducing him to Indian cinema, especially with Robinhood,” the producer was cited by Hindustan Times.
The renowned cricketer’s casting has undoubtedly aroused and stoked the excitement of fans everywhere, even though the finer points of his character are still unknown. According to the claims, he was given a staggering INR 1 crore a day for his position. Warner’s love and enthusiasm for the game have finally come true with his recent announcement that he is retiring from international cricket, opening an intriguing new chapter in his career.
Robinhood, which is scheduled to open in theaters on March 28, 2025, is anticipated to be a big smash, especially since Warner’s star power will appeal to both cricket and moviegoers.
