David Warner’s comedic collaboration with SS Rajamouli in a CRED advertisement has ignited a frenzy on the internet, sparking a flood of memes and prompting a quirky demand from Indian netizens for the Aussie cricketer to acquire an Aadhaar card.
The advertisement, inspired by the epic Bahubali saga, showcases David Warner scheming to land a role in one of Rajamouli’s films, leading to a series of comedic mishaps.
Rajamouli himself humorously dubbed the shoot as the “longest” of his career.
The longest shoot of my life.😉 #CREDad @davidwarner31

Social media platforms erupted with reactions, with LinkedIn users applauding the ad’s creativity and CRED’s consistent witty branding. Meanwhile, desi netizens, enamored by Warner’s frequent engagement with Indian culture, whimsically suggested that obtaining an Aadhaar card would officially make him an Indian citizen. Suggestions also flew for Warner’s potential debut in Telugu cinema under Rajamouli’s direction.
