Idris Elba (full name Idrissa Akuna Elba) is a famous English actor who also enjoys playing as a DJ under the pseudonyms DJ Big Driis / Big Driis the Londoner. The star, born in 1972, made his acting debut with the film Belle Maman in 1999 and over time has built an incredibly varied career by participating in both small and large projects both on the small and large screen.
While he is best known on television for lending the face of Inspector John Luther within Luther (2010-2019), the star is particularly impressed in the cinema for playing Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the anti-hero Bloodsport in the DCEU. , most notably in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad (2021).
Idris Elba made his film debut with Belle maman (1999)
A role particularly appreciated by the public considering the importance of the character within the film and which we hope will have a future life. Some time ago, in reality, a user asked Gunn directly if it will be possible to have a project starring precisely the figure embodied by Idris Elba and the filmmaker said he was convinced and enthusiastic about the idea, even if he lacked the time.
material to create such a work. Well, according to recent declarations by the star, hope is ignited. In an interview, reported by CBR, between the journalist Erik Davis and the star, an interesting detail emerged.
Idris Elba himself, in fact, admitted that in the future we will see him as part of a major DC project, but has not specified what it is. And was he referring to the Bloodsport-centric title? Obviously, at present, we have too little information to speculate, however, by joining the points, it would not be so strange to see the realization in question also taking into account the experimentalism that Detective Comics has been implementing in the last period.
Apparently, Warner Bros. is seriously considering the return of Henry Cavill’s Superman to the DC Extended Universe!

It’s been news that has been around for years, but now it looks like something is finally stirring up at the Warner Bros offices. The company is reportedly considering the potential return of star Henry Cavill as Superman for a new foray into the DC Extended Universe!
In a conversation on Twitter Spaces between reporters Erik Davis of Fandango and Umberto Gonzalez of The Wrap, the coveted update on the future of Henry Cavill’s Superman (recently busy with Netflix filming the Witcher season 3) was given. “The Multiverse has to stay, if they want to keep [Supergirl actress] Sasha Calle and bring a new Superman to life or bring Cavill back to life or something, this has to be a reality,” Gonzalez said.
Davis responded by saying he heard Cavill was asked to return to the role, but he refused. Gonzalez, however, said that Warner Bros. Discovery adores the actor as Superman and is not very willing to let him go. Words that are striking, given that Cavill has always said he is more than willing to return in the role of the iconic hero of the DC house. Just last December he revealed that he is still waiting for the “fateful call” from Warner Bros.
Is Henry Cavill’s Superman Really Coming Back?
“This will probably turn into a story, I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure maybe they’ll try to bring it back…” the reporter from The Wrap said. “I could be wrong, I just don’t think they’ve had a chance to get him back yet. But again, it’s all in the hands of whoever is overseeing the DC universe, and this committee reports to David Zaslav [CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery]. It’s been almost ten years since we saw him in Man of Steel, but personally, I don’t think it’s over yet ”.
Karthikeya 2 would have been released yesterday along with Bimbisara and Sitaram if Nikhil’s team had not wanted to compromise. But because of the pressure or the clash, the openings were cut down, they said August 12 before the end and finally locked it on 13. The words of the elders that everything that happens is for the best have literally come true in the case of the movie.
Because Bimbisara got strong support from the masses along with the positive talk. The collections of BC centers in particular stand as a testimony to that. On the other hand, Sitaram has increased the speed from the second day unlike the usual slow response for her genre. Advance bookings are very good in cities and towns.
Media reviews and Facebook and Instagram feedbacks are all positive, giving confidence that it will reach a decent range commercially. If the content of Karthikeya 2 is good, if Kanaka had come in the middle of it, the audience would have been confused and it would have directly affected the collections.
All this is fine but Karthikeya 2 has now come under heavy weight. As both of the above hit, they will continue their strong run in the second week as well. Moreover, Nikhil will have to fight with the constituencies of Lal Singh Chadha and Machar. If Karthikeya 2 uses it properly in the background of the lackluster box office, it will be justice for Nikhil who took such a gap. Expectations are good for this fantasy drama coming from the backdrop of Lord Krishna.
There is no hype or expectations for the movie ‘Macherla Niyojakavargam‘ which is going to be released next week. The item song with Anjali was a chartbuster and there was a lot of buzz about it among the masses, but despite how many millions of views the trailer got, the atmosphere outside was different.
It is difficult to say to what extent the impression class has impressed the audience, especially given that the matches have been styled with regular commercial elements. That is why it is necessary to take the promotion in a new route. The unit has started conducting interviews as its own responsibility, but the fans have not lost the feeling that something else is missing. There are reasons.
Bimbisara and Sitaramam which came out exactly a week ago were appreciated by the audience with their grander plus content. After RRR, KGF, Vikram, and Major, they got that level of response. There are no such factors in Machar’s constituency. And the opinion of what is special in Nitin’s movie should be strongly taken by the people.
Macherla Niyojakavargam
Asale Karthikeya 2 is not to be underestimated. On the other hand, even if Lal Singh Chaddani confirmed that Hindi cinema is not a competition, its impact on the multiplex segment in cities will be very strong. That’s why the team of matches will have to work hard for the openings on the 12th.
This is the debut movie of director MS Rajasekhar Reddy, who was dragged into unnecessary controversy due to his old tweets a few days ago. Kriti Shetty’s glamor is another attraction while Nithin is going to be seen as a mass IAS officer in this film.

Bimbisara: Fantasy films and time travel movies are always interested to the audience. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is magically made with a strong story, it will create wonders at the box office. But there are very few films in Telugu based on fantasy and time travel. It should be said that it has not come recently. Films like `Aditya 369′ with fantasy and `24′ with time travel came. After many days, hero Kalyan Ram did an experiment with ‘Bimbisara’.
It is a film in which he changed his path after a series of failures. It is directed by debut director Vashishta. Samyukta Menon and Catherine Theresa acted as heroines. “Bimbisara” produced by Harikrishna K under the banner of NTR Arts released in theaters on August 5. And how is the movie, is it a comeback movie for Kalyan Ram? Or disappointed? Let’s find out in the review (Bimbisara Review).
Story
Bimbisara (Kalyanram), the ruler of the Trigartala kingdom in the fifth century, was the cruelest king. He laments that he has no opponent, that those who oppose him have not yet been born, that he is the king of the people in his kingdom, and that he is a monster. With the aim of expanding the kingdom, he wars and invades the neighboring kingdoms. He destroys everyone who gets in his way.
Bimbisara
He kills his own younger brother Devadatta (Kalyan Ram) with the intention of opposing his authority. He kills the king of the neighboring kingdom who turned against him and keeps his daughter Princess Ira (Catherine) for himself. On the other hand, he attacks and burns the temple where Ayurveda is said to have saved his enemy’s life.
There he kills the teacher who cursed him and a girl. But due to a magic, Bimbisara unexpectedly arrives in the 21st century. And what is the change in Bimbisarudi when it comes to today’s time? Who then ruled the empire of Trigartala? How did the dead brother survive, how did the baby he killed save his life? What did the Ayurvedic guru curse him? What is the reason for the change in him? What happened in the end is the rest of the story.
Bimbisara
Analysis
It is a film about how the ego of having power and strength ends a man, how it haunts the generations, and the real success is to let go of the ego. However, by combining history and the present, the film “Bimbisara” was made with the concept of time travel. Unless the backdrop chosen is new, the story is not new.
But the way of running both parallel to the time of Trigarthala kingdom and today is impressive. It can be said to be a new generation of screenplay in the films that have come out so far. Director Vashishta directed the film very convincingly in this regard. The fantasy elements are brilliantly screened. In this, the family sentiment is the connecting point for the audience.
At the same time, it should be said that the director has succeeded in making the entire film entertaining, not only in the old times, but also in today’s times. But the story itself seemed routine. In the first part, the story goes smoothly. Confusion increased in the second half. It becomes routine and boring. In the end, the climax also ended as a routine.
Apart from this, there is no strong character in the movie except Kalyan Ram. Background score and songs are a plus. Apart from this, Kalyan Ram in the role of Raju was not convincing. There is a feeling of relief in the matter of Aadhyam. His dual role is a surprising element for the fans. It is no exaggeration to say that the action episodes will bring a lot of fun to the fans.
Being a fantasy film, logic is missing in many elements. Lack of a strong villain is also a big minus of the movie. There is no priority for heroines’ roles. If more care is taken in these matters, the result of the movie can be on another level. Overall, it can be said that it is a movie that can be enjoyed for a while in the theater at this time.
Artists
Kalyan Ram in the role of Bimbisara is universal. As a king, it can be said that the actor in him came out while being molded as a common man in today’s times. Expressions and cruelty were expressed with the eyes. He gave the best of his career carrying the entire film on his shoulders.
The heroines Samyukta Menon and Catherine’s roles are not given much importance. Samyukta Menon’s role is forced. Besides these, the roles of Vivan, Ayyappa Sharma and Srinivas Reddy who were made as villains are not good. Prakash Raj, Rajeev Kanakala, Chammak Chandra and Brahmaji seemed okay in terms of their roles.
Technically
Visually grander. Trigarthala Rajyam episodes are short, but most of the graphics work feels light. More care should be taken in that regard. The strength of the film is the background score of songs and keeravani. BGM drives the movie. It became a big asset. Camerawork is good. The editing looks bad. Build values are good. Although it is the director’s debut film, Vashishta did a wonderful job.
In no case does it feel like a film made by the director of the first film. The screenplay is the highlight of the movie. Otherwise, the result would have been better if they had taken care of the story and written something new. So now it remains a routine commercial movie mixed with fantasy and time travel.
Sita Ramam: Dulquer Salmaan, who was introduced to the silver screen as Malayalam superstar Mammootty’s son, and acted in his own style in a short time, became known as the father’s son. Impressing the audience with intense looks and cute expressions, he has earned millions of fans. Although he is a Malayalam hero, he also got close to the Telugu audience with his unique acting.
After ‘Mahanati’, this romantic hero’s direct Telugu film ‘Seetharaman’. Ever since the Vyjayanthi Movies banner announced this film, everyone has been interested in the love story of Sita and Ram. The recently released teaser, trailer and songs not only got good talk, but also raised the expectations of the movie.
Apart from that, the promotions were also organized in a grand manner, in which Pan India Star Prabhas and Rowdy Star Vijay Devarakonda were part of the film, creating hype on ‘Sitaharam’. To what extent has the audience accepted this film which was released on Friday (August 5) amid huge expectations? How is Sita and Ram’s love story? Let’s see in the review.
Sita Ramam
The story is..
The entire story of ‘Sitaram’ is set in 1965 and 1985. Afrin (Rashmika) is the granddaughter of a Pakistani army officer (Sachin Khedkar). When she returns from staying in London, her grandfather dies. There is a letter in the house. It is a letter written by Indian soldier Lieutenant Ram (Dulquer Salmaan) 20 years ago.
He entrusts Afrin with the responsibility of delivering it to Sita Mahalakshmi who is staying in Hyderabad. That was grandfather’s last wish. Apart from love for her grandfather, Afrin is going to Hyderabad with the letter as there is a condition that she will not get even a chilli pod from the property unless she gives the letter to Sita Mahalakshmi. Starts searching for Sita. In this process she gets to know new things about Sita and Ram.
Lt Ram is an orphan. Except working for the country..there is no one like him. Such a person will receive a letter one day. It was a letter written by Sita Mahalakshmi. Ram falls in love with her after reading the unaddressed letters. One day he meets Sita. Friendship between the two..and then love is born. Sita comes to Kashmir from Hyderabad to hide a secret for Ram.
While they are happy together, they get separated due to some reason. What is Sita’s hidden secret? Who is Sita? Why did Ram’s letter for Sita stop in Pakistan? Did Afrin give that letter to Sita or not? What’s in it? What is the relationship between Afrin and Ram? If you want to know about these things, you have to watch the movie ‘Sitaram’.
Sita Ramam
How is it..
Hanu Raghavapudi is a specialist in sensible love stories. No matter what the results of the films directed by him are, he is known to handle the love story well. Now he has repeated the same magic with ‘Seetharam’. A beautiful love story connected with war has been screened in an equally beautiful way. He showed a beautiful love story on the screen by combining two different backgrounds of love and war with Uttaram.
The story starts with the point of how Pakistani terrorists are wreaking havoc in Kashmir. But as the makers have been advertising from the beginning that this is a love story film, all the interest of the audience will be on the love story of Ram and Sita. When Sita starts writing letters to Ram, the pace of the story picks up.
Ram going to Hyderabad for Sita.. their journey there.. Ram meeting everyone who wrote letters to him.. Without knowing this, the first half ends. Vennela Kishore and Sunil tried to cultivate comedy in between but it didn’t work out. And the interval twist is exciting. In the second half, the audience will be more interested in how Sita and Ram’s love story will unfold. The second half will be just as interesting. While carrying the love story, he directed the second half adding some emotional scenes in between.
Ram going to a sister who wrote letters to him..seeing her condition and taking that responsibility on himself is heart touching. And the second aspect of the army officer Vishnu Sharma (Sumanth) is also interesting. He gave a good explanation in the second half of why he gave so much importance to the Kashmir riots and war at the beginning of the film. Also the ending given by Afrin’s character is also impressive.
Sita Ramam
The director has succeeded in using every character in the movie perfectly. Although the first half was a bit slow, in the second half he led emotionally and showed a new love story. This is a pure love story film without any obscenity.
Who did it?
Dulquer Salmaan played the role of Lt. Ram. Looking good on the screen, he impressed with his speaking style and yakking. Dulquer acted as a perfect choice for this role. He also acted brilliantly in emotional scenes. Mrinal did justice to the role of Sita. She looked beautiful on screen. She also acted well in emotional scenes. Rashmika as Afrin, a religiously mad and arrogant girl.
The ending given to her character in the climax is surprising. Sumat is one of the best characters in this movie. Sumanth impressed with his performance as army officer Vishnu Sharma. His character was shown to be suspicious from the beginning.. and raised the curiosity of the audience. Bhumika will be seen as his wife. But there is not much scope in her role. Along with Tarun Bhaskar as Gopal, Prakash Raj and Gautham Menon as army chiefs impressed with their respective roles.
As far as technology is concerned.. Vishal Chandrasekhar’s music is another major strength of this movie. He has provided excellent background music along with excellent songs. He not only raised the level of visuals with his own BGM, but also made us connect emotionally. Cinematographer PS Vinod’s performance is superb. Each frame is beautifully displayed on the screen.
Sita Ramam
He showed the beauty of Kashmir. He made the audience immersed in the story by providing amazing visuals. Editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao is fine. The production values of Vyjayanthi Movies are suitable for the level of the movie.
