David Warner is about to hit a different kind of sixer—this time, in Tollywood! The Australian cricketer, who’s a huge fan of Telugu cinema, is making his big-screen debut with Robinhood. Starring Nithiin and Sreeleela and directed by Venky Kudumula, the film has already created a lot of buzz, thanks to its catchy songs and Warner’s surprise cameo. Now, adding to the excitement, the makers have confirmed that Warner will also be actively promoting the film, making the pre-release hype even bigger.

Producer Ravi Shankar from Mythri Movie Makers recently confirmed Warner’s cameo at a pre-release event, calling it an exciting addition to the film. Director Venky Kudumula also shared that Warner won’t just be making an appearance—he’ll be part of the promotions too. The cricketer shot his scenes back in September 2024 during the Australia schedule of Robinhood. With his massive fan following in Telugu states, especially after his time with SunRisers Hyderabad, his presence in the film has only made fans more eager to watch it.

Interestingly, Robinhood was originally supposed to bring back the hit trio of Nithiin, Rashmika Mandanna, and Venky Kudumula, who had delivered a blockbuster with Bheeshma. However, due to scheduling conflicts, Rashmika had to step away, and Sreeleela came on board at the last minute. Director Venky Kudumula expressed his gratitude to Sreeleela for taking up the role so quickly and bringing her own charm to the film.

The movie was initially set to release on December 25 but got delayed. Now, fans don’t have to wait much longer—Robinhood is hitting theatres on March 28. Meanwhile, Nithiin is keeping busy with his next project, Thammudu, directed by Venu Sriram. With Warner’s involvement adding an extra dose of fun, Robinhood is shaping up to be an exciting watch for both movie lovers and cricket fans!
