FYI, some interesting trivia regarding Yesterday.
1.) Himesh Patel did all his own singing and playing in the movie.
2.) The Beatles had zero input creatively, outside of approving of their music being used in the film. Director Danny Boyle stated in interviews that the film was "blessed" by McCartney and Starr, as well as the estates of Lennon and Harrison.
3.) Licensing the Beatles' music catalog proved to be relatively straightforward, since actors were performing the songs in the film and not the Beatles themselves.
4.) During the scene where Jack first performs "Yesterday," his friends claim that it is not as good as Coldplay. Ed Sheeran's role was originally meant for Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, who could not do it due to scheduling conflicts, so then it was offered to Sheeran. The joke was left in the script.
PS, I cannot stand Ed Sheeran so I wish it had been Chris Martin
Also loads more intersting facts about the movie, but with some spoilers here.
