During the COVID-19 lockdown, Warner’s reels and TikTok videos, where he grooved to popular Telugu tracks like 'Srivalli' from 'Pushpa' and 'Mind Block' from 'Sarileru Neekevvaru', won the hearts of many fans.
With his charm and love for Indian cinema already well-known, Warner’s entry into Tollywood has left his admirers thrilled.
