Is David Warner the next big thing in Bollywood? Cricketer unleashes his inner movie superstar in commercial after retiring from Test cricket
David Warner unleashes his inner Bollywood superstar in a hilarious ad for Indian fintech company CRED Unified Payments Interface for their payment transfer app.
The commercial, which was shared by YouTube, shows David talking to a film director over the phone, who asks the sports great if he can get a discount on some match tickets.
“If you have CRED UPI, you can get a refund. But if you just have a normal UPI, you’ll have to do me a favor for a discount,” David tells him.
The footage then cuts to David dressed as a traditional Bollywood movie star on the set of an action movie, after convincing the director to cast him in the lead role.
The hilarious clip shows Warner filming several scenes for the movie, including one where he performed a happy dance with his co-stars.

It then cuts to David, dressed as a medieval warrior about to go into battle, and in a funny twist, he’s holding a cricket bat in his hands instead of a sword.
Unfortunately, Warner doesn’t seem to be right for the role as it leads to him accidentally breaking some props while stumbling on set.
