Australian cricketer David Warner is all set to make his big-screen debut in the upcoming Telugu film, Robinhood. David, who remained unsold in the recent Indian Premier League auction, will appear in a cameo alongside Nithiin and Sreeleela. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers revealed the news at the film’s trailer launch event in Hyderabad, saying, “We’ve kept this as a secret for a long time.” It is being said that the cricketer has a “small role” in the film but his character is very “exciting”. Directed by Venky Kudumula, the movie is scheduled to release in cinemas on March 28. Last September, the cricketer was spotted on a set but people thought he was shooting for an advertisement.
