Australian cricket legend David Warner is hitting showbiz for six, spotted in Melbourne on Tuesday doing a film shoot on the Yarra. The 37-year-old was seen wearing a snazzy white shirt, exiting a flashy red helicopter in the mystery shoot. In true Kojak style (a detective from a famous 1970s TV drama), Warner sucked on a large lollipop as he strutted about in white pants on the cool Melbourne day. He was also seen acting out an altercation with some machine-gun carrying ‘heavies’ on the wharf and — like something out of a Bond movie — he had them ducking for cover when he flashed a golden gun. While it is not clear exactly clear what the nature of the film shoot was, the sub-continental film crew could be a hint. Warner is starting to make a habit of Bollywood cameos, most recently teaming up with India’s No.1 film director in a viral big-budget advertisement for a fintech company.
Warner's Bollywood Debut: A Hilarious Advertisement
Warner's recent foray into Bollywood began with a hilarious advertisement for fintech company CRED Unified Payments Interface. In the commercial, he portrays a cricket legend who is approached by a movie director seeking a discount on match tickets. Warner, using his newfound Bollywood persona, offers the director a chance to be cast in his upcoming action film. The ad then cuts to Warner dressed up as a traditional Bollywood movie star, complete with flamboyant costumes and dramatic poses.
A Move Away From Cricket?
Warner's recent endeavors in Bollywood raise questions about his future in cricket. While he announced his retirement from international cricket following Australia's exit from the T20 World Cup in June, he continues to participate in domestic competitions and recently recommitted to the Sydney Thunder in the BBL. However, his recent appearance in a T10 league in the Cayman Islands and his foray into Bollywood suggest a potential shift in focus for the former cricket legend.
A New Chapter: From Cricket Star to Action Hero
Warner's transition from cricket star to action hero is a fascinating development. He appears to be embracing this new chapter with a sense of humor and enthusiasm. While his future in both cricket and Bollywood remains uncertain, one thing is clear: David Warner is not afraid to step out of his comfort zone and explore new avenues. Whether he will become a full-fledged Bollywood star or continue to juggle both cricket and acting remains to be seen. However, his recent ventures have certainly generated buzz and excitement among fans and the entertainment industry alike.
