Australian cricketer David Warner has once again expressed his admiration for the Indian film Pushpa.

Recently, David Warner went a step further by posting an Instagram ad where he channels Allu Arjun's iconic character, Pushpa Raj. The ad, which promotes Wakefit's India's first-ever mattress temperature controller, features Warner mimicking Pushpa's famous hand gesture.

Allu Arjun responded enthusiastically to Warner's ad, leaving a series of laughing, thumbs up, and fire emojis in the comments. Fans were equally thrilled, with one commenting, "He is not Australian," and another saying, "David Australian (cross emoji)... Indian (tick emoji)."
