Crossing the boundary to the box office!

Crossing over from the world of sports to the world of cinema is not a new thing. Especially in India, with the huge following for cricket and cinema, it is only natural for cricketers to appear on the silver screen. While in some cases, cricketers have appeared in cameo roles, some have gone on to become full-fledged actors.

Indian cricket legends Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar made cameo appearances, mostly in cricket-themed films. Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has shown interest in acting and has appeared in several films.He played the lead role in the film ‘Friendship’, which was released in 2021.

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan played the role of a villain in Vikram's 'Cobra' movie. His performance was well-received. Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is also going to enter the acting field.Although he is no longer an Indian cricketer, Australian cricketer David Warner, who has good connections with India, is making his silver screen entry. Warner is making his debut as an actor with Nithin's 'Robin Hood' movie.

The team shared a photo introducing David Warner in ‘Robin Hood’, saying it is a boundary to the box office. ‘Robin Hood’, directed by Venky Kudumala and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is set to hit theaters on the 28th of this month.
