Sacha Baron Cohen's new film Bruno will reportedly mock Madonna's adoption of Malawian child David Banda.

According to The Sun, a storyline from the movie shows Cohen's Austrian fashion presenter and his boyfriend adopting an African baby named David. The couple then take him on a tour of various cities across the globe.

Cohen featured in Madonna's 2000 promo video for 'Music' in the guise of Ali G. He later poked fun at her while hosting the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards awards as his character Borat, saying: "The singer before me - who was he? It was very courageous of MTV to start the show with a genuine transvestite."

Bruno is scheduled to land in UK cinemas on May 19.
