Farhan Akhtar (Farhan Akhtar) is soon going to get a big opportunity in Hollywood. He is going to work in a very special film project. Farhan will play the role of Pandit Ravi Shankar in this project. Pandit Ravi Shankar was India’s great sitar player and master of classical music. These films are based on the story of the famous British band named The Beatles. The Beatles were one of the most popular bands in the world, whose members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

This project is being made by a very famous director named Sam Mendes. Sam Mendes has previously made many big hit films like American Beauty, 1917 and some James Bond films. This is not one film but four different films. In each film, the entire story will be told from the life and perspective of one member of the Beatles, that is, one film from the perspective of John Lennon, the second from the perspective of Paul McCartney, the third from the perspective of George Harrison and the fourth from the perspective of Ringo Starr.

When will it be released?

These four films will be connected to each other and will be released in theaters across the world in April 2028. Farhan Akhtar has posted about this on Instagram. He wrote that he feels very honored and grateful to be a part of the legacy of The Beatles and Pandit Ravi Shankar. He said that the creativity of these two has inspired many generations. Farhan also told that the music of The Beatles has been very special in his life. This music remained with him in good and bad times and influenced him a lot. They can talk about it for hours. Farhan thanked Sam Mendes and said that he is a big fan of all his work. Working under his direction is like a dream come true for him.

What is Ravi Shankar’s connection with The Beatles?

Now let’s talk about what connection Pandit Ravi Shankar had with the Beatles. Especially he had a very close friendship with George Harrison. Pandit ji taught George to play sitar. For this reason, many of the Beatles’ songs incorporated elements of sitar and Indian music, such as tunes like ‘Norwegian Wood’ and ‘Within the You’. This brought a new color to the music of The Beatles in the 1960s and Indian classical music got recognition all over the world. It was a very beautiful cultural exchange. The roles of the main members of The Beatles in this film are as follows:

Paul McCartney’s character – Paul Mescal

John Lennon’s character – Harris Dickinson

Ringo Starr as Barry Keoghan

George Harrison character – Joseph Quinn
