Henry Cavill has once again donned the cape for good and the actor is recalling the emotional experience of finally putting the cape back on after five long years.

Cavill recalled in a recent interview as noted by The Hollywood Reporter, that he was working six days a week on Netflix’s The Witcher when he was offered to appear in a scene in Dwayne Johnson’s DC antihero story Black Adam. He had to get permission from The Witcher team, but as the actor recalled, “It was so top secret we couldn’t tell them what.”

For the appearance in Black Adam, the actor recalled he chose the costume he wore in 2013’s Man Of Steel, his first outing as the mighty Superman. “I chose that one in particular because of the nostalgia attached to the suit,” said Cavill during the conversation, which was a live taping of Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast. It was incredibly important to me to be standing there and enjoying that moment.”

“That is one of the top moments in my career. It feels great to have the opportunity to wear it again,” he added. “The character means so much to me. It’s been five years now. I never gave up hope. It’s amazing to be here now talking about it again. There is such a bright future ahead for the character. I’m so excited to tell a story with an enormously joyful Superman.”

Recently, Cavill took to social media announcing his return as the Superman saying, “I wanted to make it official: I am back as Superman…Thank you for your support and thank you for your patience. I promise it will be rewarded.” Cavill currently stars the Netflix series The Witcher.

Shroff had also launched Govinda’s career in Bollywood in 1986. Reacting to the news of his demise, Govinda said, “I’m deeply saddened. My career started with his film. Uparwala unko jannat naseeb karaye (may God place his soul in heaven). May his soul rest in peace. Not only did he give me work, but he used to have faith in me, too. He was the first person in my life who said that Govinda understands cinema. He played a big role in making me Govinda from Govind,” to ETimes. 

On the other hand, Padmini Kolhapure also recalled working with the late filmmaker. While calling him a ‘very sensitive director’ with a ‘smiling face’, she told ETimes, “I did Thodisi Bewafaii and Ahista Ahista with him. Ahista Ahista is very close to my heart. He seemed strict in his demeanour but he had a smiling face. He was very sure about what he wanted and he would put it across. We got along very well as actor-director. He was a very sensitive director. It's a huge loss. He left his mark in the industry.”

Meanwhile, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit took to his Twitter handle and mourned the death of Esmayeel Shroff. In a brief tweet, he wrote, “Sad to know about the demise of ace filmmaker Esmayeel Shroff.”

While further details are awaited, team Bollywood Hungama pays sincere condolences to his family.
