David Warner wants to play a villain in a Mahesh Babu or Allu Arjun film

Australian cricketer David Warner’s love for Telugu cinema came to a forefront when he danced to Butta Bomma with his family during the pandemic. Since then, the batsman has gained fame on social media for sharing pictures and videos of him morphing his face onto scenes featuring Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan and oddly, even Rashmika Mandanna. In a talk show, he recently opened up about wanting to play a villain in Telugu cinema.

“My dream cast will have Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun and we need a female actress. So let’s give that opportunity to Rashmika Mandanna, she worked with Allu. And I have to play the bad guy (in the film). It’s my nature," joked the cricketer. He also spoke of how he began making videos of him dancing to Telugu songs, writing, “I only knew three Hindi songs when the pandemic began – Sheila Ki Jawani, Main Tero Hero and Chammak Challo. The Hyderabadi fans asked me to dance to Butta Bomma. We did that and they went ballistic."
