Directed by Venky Kudumula and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Robinhood is expected to be an action-packed entertainer. The film also features music by GV Prakash Kumar and marks the second collaboration between Nithiin and Venky Kudumula after their successful film Bheeshma.
Warner, a beloved figure among Indian cricket fans, has long expressed his admiration for Telugu cinema. The former Sunrisers Hyderabad captain, who led his team to an IPL victory in 2016, gained popularity during the COVID-19 lockdown for his dance videos. His reels featuring Telugu songs like “Srivalli” from Pushpa and “Mind Block” from Sarileru Neekevvaru won him a massive following beyond the cricket world.
