He became popular in Telugu states not just for cricket, but also for his funny and entertaining reels on Telugu movies. Now, he will be seen on the big screen with actor Nithiin and actress Sreeleela.
Though Warner appears for just 3 to 5 minutes in the film, his role is very important. It is said that he was paid around Rs. 3 crores for the role and Rs. 1 crore more for promotions – a total of Rs. 4 crores. That’s a huge amount for such a short role, but fans feel he’s worth it.
