Australian cricketer David Warner, who is famous for his aggressive batting, is now entering the world of acting. The 38-year-old will be making a guest appearance in the upcoming Telugu movie Robinhood, featuring popular South Indian actor Nithiin. To be released on March 28, the movie has already generated interest, particularly among cricket fans who are keen to witness Warner’s acting debut. Warner, who has been entertaining admirers with Pushpa-inspired reels earlier, is now taking his South Indian cinema passion to the big screen.
Warner’s Whopping Fee for Robinhood
Warner reportedly got an astonishing ₹2.5 crore as payment for his short appearance in Robinhood. His appearance, which only lasts 2 minutes and 50 seconds, was filmed in two days, during which the cricketer received ₹1.25 crore per day. With this fat compensation, Warner becomes part of the list of actors who have been highlighted for costly cameo roles.

The news of Warner’s paycheck brought mixed reactions on social media. One fan stated, “He is also becoming part of the promotion.” Another said, “Perfect, now it’s going to be fun.” Some raised questions about whether the huge fee was worth it, with a user stating, “I hope it’s worth it and the money is not wasted.”
