McCartney hits the right note with Man on the Run
MUMBAI: He may have left The Beatles behind, but Paul McCartney never missed a beat. Man on the Run, a new documentary streaming globally on Prime Video from 25 February, takes audiences on a front-row journey through McCartney’s life after the world’s most famous band split up.
Directed by Academy Award-winner Morgan Neville, the film charts McCartney’s creative rebirth alongside his wife Linda, as the two form Wings and redefine what it means to start again under the glare of fame. Packed with never-before-seen footage and rare archival treasures, the documentary offers an intimate glimpse at the man behind the music, facing both artistic challenges and personal triumphs.
Produced by Tremolo in association with MPL and Polygram Entertainment, Man on the Run will first hit select cinemas before landing on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories.
But that’s not all, the film headlines a larger partnership between McCartney, Universal Music Group, and Amazon, set to roll out over the coming year. Fans can look forward to exclusive music releases, limited-edition merchandise drops, and even McCartney’s own commentary on Amazon Music.
The collaboration also coincides with the November release of Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, his companion book, and Wings, a self-titled definitive music collection arriving on vinyl and streaming platforms. Add to that his upcoming Got Back tour across North America, and it’s clear Sir Paul’s still flying high.

OneOTT partners with UP govt for Project GANGA broadband rollout
Initiative to connect 2M plus households, empower 8,000–10,000 entrepreneurs in 2–3 years.
MUMBAI: Uttar Pradesh just got a digital Ganga flow because when broadband meets ambition, even villages start streaming faster than city traffic. OneOTT Intertainment Ltd. (OIL), the broadband arm of Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS) under the Hinduja Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Transformation Commission (STC), Government of Uttar Pradesh, for Project GANGA (Government Assisted Network for Growth & Advancement).
The MoU, signed on 7 March 2026 in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Finance & Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna, aims to empower 8,000–10,000 local entrepreneurs at the Nyaya Panchayat level as independent Digital Service Providers (DSPs). A significant number of these DSPs are expected to be women. The initiative will deliver high-speed broadband to over 2 million households in the next 2–3 years and create direct and indirect employment for more than 100,000 individuals.
Project GANGA will support government priorities in digital education, healthcare and public services while enabling MSMEs and enterprises with reliable connectivity. DSPs will receive structured training, financing assistance, network build-out support and technology enablement.
STC CEO Manoj Kumar Singh said, “Project GANGA is a significant step toward expanding inclusive digital infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh. By empowering local entrepreneurs, the program will strengthen service delivery and ensure affordable digital access for underserved communities.”
OIL, MD & CEO and HGS whole-time director Vynsley Fernandes added, “This initiative reflects our long-term commitment to enabling digital access and economic opportunity at scale. Project GANGA is structured as a multi-year program focused on entrepreneur onboarding, network deployment and workforce development.”
OIL brings execution strength backed by HGS and NXTDIGITAL’s national footprint, which already connects over 5 million homes across more than 4,500 pin codes in 1,500 cities and towns through 15,000 plus franchise partners and over 2 lakh kilometres of fibre infrastructure. The ecosystem will support broadband, IPTV, OTT, CCTV, satellite internet and cybersecurity solutions for households, businesses and public institutions.
In a state racing toward digital inclusion, Project GANGA isn’t just laying cables, it’s laying the foundation for millions to connect, learn, heal and earn, one Nyaya Panchayat at a time.
