Twitter chief Elon Musk, on early Sunday (March 6) confirmed that users on the microblogging platform can send “longform tweets” with up to 10,000 characters. While responding to a user’s question, Musk also said that the feature would be rolled out “soon” without giving any specific timeline.&nbsp;

The announcement was made after Youtuber and Twitter user @ThePrimeagen asked Musk, “The dev community and I were wondering if you could add code blocks to tweets?” To which the microblogging platform’s CEO said, “As an attachment? How many chars? We are extending longform tweets to 10k soon.” As of now, a regular Twitter user is allowed to post tweets with only 280 characters.&nbsp;

This comes nearly a month after the company announced that those with Twitter Blue subscriptions will be allowed to post tweets with 4,000 characters. While Musk did not confirm if this feature will be rolled out for all users or only those with a Twitter Blue subscription, however, many suspect it would be the latter. The microblogging platform first introduced character-length expansion in 2017 when it doubled the 140-character limit to 280.&nbsp;

This also comes a day after the Twitter CEO also announced that he is “aiming to roll out ability to reply to individual DMs, use any reaction emoji &amp; encryption later this month.” Meanwhile, the microblogging platform’s Community Notes page, in late February had also said that the users will be notified if a Community Note appears on a Tweet to which they have responded, liked, or retweeted.&nbsp;

“Starting today, you’ll get a heads up if a Community Note starts showing on a Tweet you’ve replied to, Liked or Retweeted. This helps give people extra context that they might otherwise miss,” read the tweet.&nbsp;

Twitter will ‘soon’ allow users to post tweets with 10,000 characters, says Elon Musk

Superhero movies are all the rage these days. It is only now cinema is exploring the treasure trove of exciting stories comics have been for more than eight decades. While many superheroes, supervillains, and other characters have got their own movies, countless other compelling characters are yet to see the big screen treatment.

10 Marvel & DC characters who need their own movies

Be it in 'Deewar', 'Shehenshah'&nbsp;or 'Bhootnath', watching Amitabh Bachchan onscreen has always been a delight! The actor who rings in his 77th birthday on Friday has had a career spanning over 40 years in not only Bollywood but other vernacular language films as well. 
 
With a whole gamut of roles, and a resume boasting of iconic films including 'Sholay', 'Zanzeer', 'Don', 'Agneepath', 'Coolie'&nbsp;among others, the Padma Shri awardee has had his stints in the Bengali, Kannada, Marathi, Telugu and Hollywood films too. 
 
However, much of it has remained unacknowledged. What better day than his 77th birthday to take a look at his works in other languages as well. So, here's a look at some of his undiscovered outings in Bengali to English cinema. 
 
'Anusandhan'&nbsp;(1981): This 1981 Bengali feature had Amitabh as Abhijit, opposite Raakhee Gulzar, Amjad Khan, and Utpal Datta. Entering the movie as a stranger in the tea gardens of Darjeeling, he falls in love with Tamosha (Raakhee). The film then went on to explore who actually Abhijit is and will he be able to save his love from the atrocities of Kaaliram's (Amjad) terror.

'Ganga'&nbsp;(2006): The 'Sholay'&nbsp;star's Bhojpuri outing 'Ganga'&nbsp;portrayed him as Thakur Vijay Singh with 'Dreamgirl'&nbsp;Hema Malini playing Thakurain Savitri V. Singh. This Abhishek Chhadha directorial also starred Nagma as Ganga.

'Kandahar'(2010)': An inevitable part of the celluloid industry, Tollywood can't go unmentioned when talking of one of India's biggest actors. The Malayalam language war film penned and helmed by Major Ravi saw Senior Bachchan as Lokanath Sharma. The plot of the film was based on the hijacking of the Indian Airlines Flight 814 in 1999.
