The King of Rock 'n' Roll Elvis Presley's biopic "Elvis" will be released worldwide on June 24. The Baz Luhrmann's biopic is likely to be released in Bangladesh on the same day.

"Elvis" was first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and truly impressed the audiences at the prestigious event. The crowds cheered enthusiastically during the end credits on the Warner Bros title and gave a 10-minute standing ovation for the film.

The biopic centers on the singer's long and tortured relationship with manager Tom Parker (played by Hanks), a former carnival worker whose control over Presley was widely criticized as unethical and harmful to Presley.

The movie stars Austin Butler playing the role of Elvis while Tom Hanks donned the role of the manager Colonel Tom Parker in the film. Elvis Presley's ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, was portrayed by Australian actress, Olivia DeJonge.
