From cricket to the big screen? David Warner takes on Shah Rukh Khan’s Bollywood role in a viral video
He’s one of Australia’s most successful cricket players, but it seems David Warner could be considering a career in acting.
The sportsman, 34, shared a video to Instagram on Wednesday in which he channelled Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan from his film Don 2.
The viral clip was made using the face-swap app Redface, which superimposed David’s face on to the Indian actor’s.

The Australian opener was shown in a compilation of action scenes from Don 2, and the footage has already gone viral more than one million views in 24 hours.
David, who regularly shares fan-made Redface videos on his social media accounts, said his followers might not recognise the movie.
‘Sorry about the violence in this but I don’t think you’ll get this one,’ he captioned the clip.

‘Awesome opportunity meeting this guy this morning! Entourage Australia could definitely work. #fanboy,’ he captioned a photo of the pair on Instagram.
