David Warner Mocked On Stage? What Was Telugu Senior Thinking?

As it has been communicated earlier, Australian cricketer and former captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, David Warner is making his Indian cinema debut with Telugu film Robin Hood, which is releasing on March 28.

During the promotional campaign of the film, Warner arrived in India, which coincides with the start of IPL. In this context, the makers held a grand promotional event in Hyderabad last night, and it featured the entire lead actors associated with the film and also David Warner taking the guest seat.

However, there was this one detrimental and untoward incident that happened on stage which is leading to discussions.

Senior Telugu actor Rajendra Prasad ended up making a mockery of David Warner while speaking on stage. The senior actor had a few harsh words to say about Warner as he referred to the loved cricketer as “orey warneruu” on stage.

Even the subsequent choice of words picked by the senior actor about Warner being seen problematic and unnecessary by the wider sections of the audience. It is evident that he had at least a bit of respect for Warner on stage and the same is being carried on social media now.

Many people are of strong opinion that Warner is a guest of the Telugu states, and he is happily making his debut with Robin Hood, so he must be treated with respect and dignity. More than anything, he is a guest of the Telugu states, which in itself qualifies for him to get top respect.

So the misbehaviour of the senior Telugu actor Rajendra Prasad on stage while speaking about Warner is being spread in bad light on social media. While we don’t know if the senior actor had done this intentionally or whether it was a slip up moment in the heat of things, such derogatory behaviour is not been taken lightly by social media folk.
