Ananta Jalil’s ‘Din- The Day’
releases final trailer
Nusraat, Apurba pairs up
for ‘Icon man’
TBT REPORT
Dhallywood popular actress Nusraat
Faria who started her career through
television will be seen once again in
small screen opposite versatile actor
Ziaul Faruq Apurba in their upcoming
Eid special television feature film
titled 'Icon man', directed by in Sanjoy
Somadder.
The duo paired up for the second
time, earlier they were seen together
for Zee5's web film titled 'Jodi Kintu
Tobuo'. It is learnt that the length of
this special film is 75 minutes. It is a
Madame Web actress Sydney Sweeney
says she grew up watching Marvel
movies. In recent years, Sony has been
raking in big sums with its Spider-Man
Universe. Spider-Man: No Way Home
earned Sony and Marvel a little shy of $2
billion, while other in-universe movies
like Venom and Venom: Let There Be
Carnage have also grossed impressive
global revenues, totaling $500 million
and $850 million, respectively.
Considering the profits, Sony has greenlit
a number of spin-off films based on
Spider-Man characters from the comics.
Three, so far, have made significant
headway, including Kraven the Hunter,
El Muerto, and Madame Web, which is
Sony's first movie to feature a female
superhero.
Development on Sony's Spider-Man
Universe's (SSU) Madame Web
commenced in 2019. At that time, Charlize
Theron and Amy Adams were circling the
suspense thriller that centers around
the theme of competition and revenge
instilled indefinitely into the heart of
society. The screenplay was written by
Ishtiaque Ayon.
In the film Apurba will be seen in
the role of a motivational speaker
named Fahad Baig. On the other
hand, Faria is playing the role of Nova.
The shooting of the feature film
started on Saturday June 18 in Uttara.
Regarding the context Apurba said,
'Although it is a feature film, it is being
made in the style of a full-length
movie and a great story. Besides, I
have a lot of good work experience
with Sanjay Samaddar. I have worked
with Nusraat Faria before. I hope
something good will happen. '
'I have a great understanding with
Apurba. I also have faith in him and
the story is wonderful. So, I joined this
project', said the actress about pairing
with Apurba for the second time.
The feature film 'Icon Man' is going
to be release on Deepto TV and its
official YouTube Channel on the
occasion of Eid-ul- Adha.
'Madame Web Spider-Man' spinoff star
grew up watching Marvel movies
titular role, but ultimately, Sony brought
Kerem Sanga on board to re-write the
script from Matt Sazama and Burk
Sharpless, and the Spider-Man spin-off
movie was rechristened completely.
Subsequently, in 2022, news broke out
that Fifty Shades of Grey's Dakota
Johnson will play Madame Web's lead,
with Jessica Jones helmer S. J. Clarkson
attached to direct. In the following days,
Celeste O'Connor, Isabela Merced, and
Tahar Rahim joined the cast, with
Euphoria's Syndey Sweeney also landing a
secret role. Sweeney is an avid fan of
superhero fare, and she has shared her
passion for the same.
In a new interview with THR, Sweeney,
who's previously starred in shows like
Everything Sucks! and The Handmaid's
Tale, opened up about her love for Marvel
movies, which she grew up watching. The
actress feels that Marvel's superhero
movies are incredibly cool and largerthan-life,
and she has always dreamt of
being a part of a project like that. And
now, her wishes are coming true with her
role in the Spider-Man spin-off movie,
Madame Web. Read what she said below.
Oh my goodness. I grew up watching
Marvel movies and superheroes are just
the coolest thing ever. So I just dreamt of
being able to be a part of something
bigger than life itself. And that's what I
feel like I'm getting to be a part of with
Madame Web.
Although the star has been incredibly
coy about her Madame Web role,
speculations are rife that Sweeney might
play Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. The Once
Upon a Time in Hollywood actress has
long been a popular fancast for the
Spider-Man love-interest/anti-hero. And
now that she has officially joined the SSU,
fans are hoping she ends up playing the
part. Regardless of whatever character
Sweeney is playing in Madame Web, the
actress is definitely working hard to ace
her new job. She is collecting and
researching comics and also presumably
brushing up on her mixed martial arts
skills, which she has been trained in since
childhood.
With her love for Marvel, the
superhero genre, her persistent hard
work, and a spectacular acting prowess
that she recently demonstrated through
her turn as Cassie in Euphoria season 2,
Sweeney is undoubtedly the perfect
casting choice for Madame Web.
Of course, since Sweeney has grown up
watching MCU films, she must be
familiar with the nuances of playing a
superhero/ supervillain as well as fans'
expectations from the movies.

ARIEs
Today your intellectual and
expressive abilities should receive a
boost from the planets. It's an
excellent time to organize your thoughts about
presenting a project to a possible collaborator,
engage in trade, or write. In terms of your
private life, it's also a good time to examine the
latest events, certain aspects of which are still
partially misunderstood.
TAURUs
Overall, the forecast for today is fairly
good. The aspects seem to favor figuring
out the meaning of all that's transpired
over the past several weeks. It's an
opportunity for you to take a leisurely look at the
distance you've covered moving toward your goals.
Since it's an auspicious day for social activities, why not
get together with friends and discuss the latest events
with them?
GEMINI
Have you felt somewhat lost for the past
few days? The fog may lift today and
enable you to situate yourself at last.
You're probably eager to settle a
question that has nagged at you and interfered with
your judgment. However, you should be patient,
especially if it has to do with emotional matters. Try
to understand, but don't take immediate action.
You'll be more objective beginning tomorrow.
cANcER
You may have been feeling somewhat
disillusioned. Perhaps you lost sight of
your goals or misplaced your faith in
yourself. You'll feel some relief
beginning today. This is an opportunity to end what
has been a somewhat apathetic and moody phase
and begin a new one that's based on work and
meditation. As you can imagine, this new phase will
be much more fulfilling!
LEO
You might be tempted to settle certain
matters by radical means. The
visionary part of you means you're
painfully aware of the world's wrongs.
You see no reason not to take action to correct them.
But the forces in play are so powerful that you can't
expect to institute a new order in one day. If you
have an emotional question to resolve, it would be
better to wait a few days before making a decision.
VIRGO
Today will be fairly calm in terms of
outside events, but your inner world is
likely to be in a rush of activity. Today you
wish you could find the solution to your
heartaches as well as your career predicaments. You'd
like to achieve some supreme understanding of the
events that took place over the past month. First you
must force your brain to slow down. Haste makes
waste, as you know!
LIBRA
You have a lot of thinking to do about
your professional goals, Libra. You'll go
over the elements to see if there isn't
some way to approach things differently.
Are there new paths you could try or ways to improve
things? Your mind will go a thousand miles a minute
today. Those who spend time with you may be totally
exhausted by the end of the day because of all the
questions you ask!
scORPIO
You just can't do everything at once,
Scorpio. How do you expect to reduce
your stress and recuperate while at
the same time continue to be a
superstar performer in every area of your life?
Don't pressure yourself to perform today. If you do,
you're likely to deplete your reserves even further.
Take it easy, rest, and relax! You've earned this
little break.
sAGITTARIUs
This is a good moment to adapt your logic
and reason to reality, Sagittarius. If you
don't, you're going to run into some
intellectual problems. Everyone knows that you find new
ideas plentiful, but unless you have plans to be a novelist,
link your thinking to reality. The "pie in the sky" thinking
that you engage in isn't particularly useful to the rest of
us living here in the real world.
cAPRIcORN
It's going to be a little difficult talking
to you today, Capricorn. You, who can
be easily influenced by others, will be
listening to and criticizing everything
that people say. Nothing emotional or vague is
going to get into your head. It's as if you've installed
an extremely fine filter that lets in only what you
allow. You're going to appear to be a real expert.
Don't show off too much!
AQUARIUs
Have you been reviewing your family
history lately, Aquarius? Of special
interest is your cultural background.
What educational, social, and religious
environment were you born into? What are its
values? In the end, do you feel a strong affinity with
them now or are those views different from the ones
you hold? These are interesting avenues of thought
for you today.
PIscEs
It's time to elevate your sense of self,
Pisces. You're just as good as anyone
else, so why don't you believe it? The
problem is that you're very sensitive
about having an ego. Even though you know
everyone does, you punish yourself for its existence!
This is a noble idea, but it doesn't do you any good.
You'll never be perfect and neither will anyone else.
What are you worrying about?
