By David Warner Feels ‘Humbled’ to Join Tollywood at ‘Robinhood’ Pre-Release Event
The pre-release event for ‘Robinhood‘, starring Nithiin and Sreeleela, turned out to be a grand and star-studded affair in Hyderabad. The event was graced by none other than Australian cricketer David Warner, who is all set to make his Tollywood debut with a special role in the film. Warner’s presence added an extra layer of excitement to the evening, given his immense popularity in the Telugu states.
According to a report by 123Telugu, Warner, who enjoys a massive fan following in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana due to his association with the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Sunrisers Hyderabad, captivated the audience with his charm and humility. He began his speech with a heartfelt “Namaskaram,” instantly winning over the crowd. Expressing his gratitude, he said, “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you all for all the love and support over the last 15 years.”
During his address, Warner opened up about his nervousness in transitioning from the cricket field to the silver screen. He admitted that stepping into the film industry was a completely new experience for him, and the shift from wearing his traditional colored cricket attire to performing in a movie was daunting. “I was very nervous getting out of my colored clothing and getting into the film industry. I’m humbled to have come and participated in the movie,” he shared. However, he also emphasized how honored he felt to be warmly welcomed by the Telugu film fraternity. He further added that after watching glimpses of ‘Robinhood,’ he was convinced that the movie would be a massive hit.
One of the most entertaining moments of the evening came when director Venky Kudumula playfully urged Warner to say a few words in Telugu. The cricketer, ever the sport, delighted the audience by saying, “Nenu Ninnu Premistunnanu” (I love you), drawing loud cheers and applause from the crowd.
The evening was also filled with fun interactions and energetic performances. Warner enthusiastically joined Nithiin, Sreeleela, and Ketika Sharma on stage to perform some dance moves, further cementing his bond with the Tollywood audience. His willingness to embrace Telugu culture and entertainment was met with widespread appreciation from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
As ‘Robinhood’ gears up for its grand theatrical release on March 28, anticipation for the film continues to grow. The movie features Nithiin in the role of a modern-day Robin Hood—a thief who steals from the rich to help the underprivileged. Sreeleela plays the female lead, Neera Vasudev, and the film also boasts a talented supporting cast, including Shine Tom Chacko, Rajendra Prasad, and Vennela Kishore in key roles.
The film’s music, composed by the talented G.V. Prakash Kumar, has already generated buzz among audiences, with the songs receiving positive responses. Given the intriguing storyline, a stellar cast, and the added attraction of David Warner’s special appearance, ‘Robinhood’ is shaping up to be one of the most awaited films of the year.

Warner’s involvement in the movie signifies a fascinating crossover between sports and entertainment, further highlighting the far-reaching influence of Tollywood beyond India’s borders.
With just a few days left for its release, fans are eagerly awaiting to see Nithiin and Sreeleela bring their characters to life on the big screen.
