**Hyderabad, March 26, 2025:** A pre-release event for the Telugu film “Robin Hood” took an unexpected turn when veteran actor Rajendra Prasad made an inappropriate remark towards Australian cricketer David Warner, who has a special appearance in the movie.
During the event, Prasad reportedly made a crude and disrespectful comment towards Warner, prompting widespread criticism on social media. He later issued a public apology, stating that his words were unintentional and that he deeply regretted any offense caused. Prasad emphasized his admiration for Warner and assured the public that such an incident would not be repeated.
Director Venky Kudumula revealed Warner’s reaction to the incident, stating that the cricketer took it in good humor, drawing a comparison to the often-heated sledging common in cricket. Kudumula confirmed that Warner and Prasad had bonded well before the unfortunate comment, describing Prasad’s actions as stemming from his playful nature. Warner reportedly responded positively, suggesting that the incident was a playful exchange between actors, similar to the banter seen on the cricket field.
The film “Robin Hood,” starring Nithin and Sreeleela, is scheduled for release on March 28th. The controversy surrounding the pre-release event has nonetheless generated significant buzz around the upcoming movie.
