A Four-Film Tribute to The Beatles

Directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes, The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event is envisioned as a sweeping cinematic experiment. The ambitious project will unfold through four interconnected biopics, each narrated from the perspective of a member of The Beatles - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

The series promises to chart the band’s extraordinary rise from Liverpool’s modest beginnings to becoming a defining force in global music history.

Farhan Steps Into a Musical Legacy

Farhan will portray Pandit Ravi Shankar, whose close friendship with George Harrison in the 1960s profoundly influenced the Beatles’ evolving sound. Shankar introduced Harrison to Indian classical music and spiritual philosophy, inspiring the use of the sitar in several Beatles tracks and encouraging a deeper cultural dialogue between East and West.
