David Warner, the explosive Australian cricketer and former Sunrisers Hyderabad captain, is set to make his much-anticipated Telugu film debut. Warner, known for his aggressive batting and deep admiration for Indian cinema, will be seen in Robinhood, an upcoming action-packed entertainer starring Nithiin and Sreeleela.
On Saturday, Warner took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share the news, unveiling the first look poster of the film and confirming its worldwide release date. “Indian Cinema, here I come. Excited to be a part of #Robinhood. Thoroughly enjoyed shooting for this one. GRAND RELEASE WORLDWIDE ON MARCH 28th,” Warner posted.
Robinhood: A High-Octane Action Drama
Helmed by director Venky Kudumula, Robinhood is backed by the renowned production house Mythri Movie Makers. This marks the second collaboration between Nithiin and Venky Kudumula after their successful venture Bheeshma. With music composed by GV Prakash Kumar, the film is expected to deliver a gripping cinematic experience.
Veteran actor Rajendra Prasad also plays a key role, adding further depth to the cast. Sreeleela, one of Tollywood’s rising stars, takes on the female lead.
Australian Cricketer Steps Into Tollywood
Warner’s connection with Tollywood is not new. Having played several seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Sunrisers Hyderabad, he developed a strong bond with Telugu-speaking fans. His social media presence skyrocketed during the COVID-19 lockdown when he entertained followers with dance videos featuring popular Telugu songs like Srivalli from Pushpa and Mind Block from Sarileru Neekevvaru.

His humorous and engaging content made him a favorite among Indian movie lovers, and his foray into Tollywood was highly anticipated.
A Unique Trailer Launch Announcement
Adding to the excitement surrounding Robinhood, the film’s team took a creative approach to reveal its trailer launch date. Following the trend of AI interactions, actor Nithiin and director Venky Kudumula sought assistance from Twitter’s chatbot, Grok.
Initially, Venky Kudumula asked for the chatbot’s help in English, only to be humorously trolled by Grok. However, when asked to suggest an ideal trailer release date, Grok recommended March 21. The filmmakers then requested a suitable time, prompting the chatbot to cheekily remark that Tollywood lacks punctuality when it comes to content releases.
The duo eventually settled on 4:05 PM, citing their belief in the number ‘9’ as lucky. Grok expressed surprise at this Tollywood sentiment, making for an amusing promotional gimmick.
With the trailer set to drop on March 21 at 4:05 PM, anticipation for Robinhood is at an all-time high.
Robinhood is slated for a worldwide release on March 28, promising audiences a thrilling experience. With Warner’s special appearance, Nithiin’s action-packed performance, and GV Prakash Kumar’s musical brilliance, the film is shaping up to be a major attraction for both cricket and cinema fans.
As Warner steps into Tollywood, his crossover into Indian entertainment adds another fascinating chapter to his legacy. Fans eagerly await his on-screen debut, hoping he brings the same charisma to the silver screen that he showcased on the cricket field.
