Former Australian cricketer David Warner, who makes a special appearance in an upcoming Telugu film, recently shared his unpleasant experience on social media while traveling to promote the film.

Directed by Venky Kudumula, Robinwood stars popular Telugu actors Nithin and Srileela, with music composed by GV Prakash. The film is set to hit theaters worldwide on the 28th.

Warner, who flew in from Australia for the film’s trailer launch, faced unexpected trouble during his journey. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he expressed his frustration over being kept waiting for hours on an Air India flight due to the absence of a pilot. "Why are they making passengers board the plane without a pilot?" he questioned in his post.

Following Warner’s complaint, Air India responded, stating that the delay was due to bad weather. However, the situation has sparked discussions online, drawing mixed reactions from netizens.

@airindia we’ve boarded a plane with no pilots and waiting on the plane for hours. Why would you board passengers knowing that you have no pilots for the flight? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
