Cricketer David Warner to make his acting debut with cameo in Telugu film Robinhood

Former Australian cricketer David Warner is officially making his acting debut with a cameo in the Telugu film Robinhood, starring Nithiin and Sreeleela, directed by Venky Kudumula. Producer Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers, who bankrolled Pushpa, confirmed Warner’s much-anticipated cameo during the pre-release event of GV Prakash’s upcoming film, Kingston, in Hyderabad.

During the event, which was attended by actor Nithiin and director Venky Kudumula, producer Ravi was asked to share an update on their upcoming project, Robinhood. Clarifying the rumours, he said, “David Warner has made a cameo in the film, it’ll be



exciting,” confirming the long-standing speculation.

Warner, a fan favourite in the Telugu states due to his association with SunRisers Hyderabad, has often expressed his admiration for Telugu cinema. His viral Instagram reels dancing to Allu Arjun’s songs from Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and Pushpa further cemented his popularity. Warner reportedly shot for his cameo in September 2024 during the film’s Australia schedule. Reports did the rounds back then when he followed Nithiin and Venky Kudumula on Instagram. While his entry into Telugu films had often been speculated, the producer officially confirmed it at the Kingston event.
