In one of the latest developments, Henry Cavill is saying goodbye to the beloved character Geralt Of Rivia in The Witcher season 4. Ahead of the season 3 arrival next year, Cavill took to Instagram on Saturday to inform his fans that he will officially be ‘laying down my medallion and my swords’ and departing the fantasy series, on Netflix. Season 4 will see Liam Hemsworth take on the role of monster-hunter Geralt of Rivia instead.

“My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures,” Cavill wrote in his post. “In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men.”

He continued, “Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him. Enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find.”

Hemsworth took to Instagram and paid tribute to Cavill, “As a Witcher fan, I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia,” he wrote. “Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honoured that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure.”

“Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character,” The Hunger Games actor said. “I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into the Witcher world.”

Henry Cavill’s announcement comes in less than weeks since he made a cameo as Superman in DC’s Black Adam. He then announced that he is putting the cape back on and is ready for the next movie.

The upcoming season 3 synopsis reads, “As monarchs, mages and beasts of the Continent compete to capture her, Geralt takes Ciri of Cintra into hiding, determined to protect his newly-reunited family against those who threaten to destroy it. Entrusted with Ciri’s magical training, Yennefer leads them to the protected fortress of Aretuza, where she hopes to discover more about the girl’s untapped powers; instead, they discover they’ve landed in a battlefield of political corruption, dark magic and treachery. They must fight back, put everything on the line – or risk losing each other forever.”

Netflix has seemingly greenlit seasons 4 and 5 of the series which will be reportedly shot back-to-back. While it is unclear when the production will begin, the seasons are currently in the writing stage.

Subhash Ghai feels ‘blessed’ after ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ makes its way to White House’s Diwali party

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai’s iconic song ‘Choli Ke Pecche Kya Hai’ from Khalnayak made its way to the White House, submerging the United States’ presidential residence in Indian music! ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ is still the heart of every celebration and mesmerises people.

Subhash Ghai feels 'blessed' after 'Choli Ke Peeche' makes its way to White House's Diwali party

Poorna Jagannathan, who is seen in Mindy Kaling’s show Never Have I Ever, was one of the attendees. She shared a clip of people dancing on the tunes of the song at the White House Diwali Party this year. The filmmaker tweeted about it mentioning, “Happy to see CHOLI KE PEECHHE song being played at White House Washington n Poorna Jagannathan dancing there. Especially when it faced a lot of backlash by social n political protests back then during its release in 1993. Good work stays for long. I feel blessed.”

He also stated, “I am grateful for all the love that people continue to shower on my work.”

Reminiscing the making he shared how ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ was actually picked from popular folk songs from Eastern India, he said, “We had never imagined that the song would receive social and political backlash. 1 crore cassettes were sold just within a week of its release, this led to envy from the industry and the song was labelled to be vulgar and faced criticism. When the movie was released, a leading newspaper mentioned that the song is beautifully depicted and is one of the iconic scenes of Indian cinema. When I myself went to see the audience’s reaction, they were purely awestruck. It was also picked up by many dancing workshops in schools. It became an iconic song for many people, including celebrities. One can realise the efforts went into composing the song and the negativity we dealt with when a section of people reacted to the song, but today the same people are in admiration. That’s the beauty of art we live in. Sometimes you might feel that you have done wrong but with time it turns out to be a classic. I feel blessed that this song has become so iconic that it’s being played globally including the White House in Washington DC wherein Poorna can be seen enjoying it.”

The song originally featured Madhuri Dixit, Neena Gupta and Sanjay Dutt.
