Bombay's Beatle

Synopsis

Sarfraz Manzoor visits Mumbai to meet some of the musicians who were recruited in 1968 by George Harrison to help him record his first solo project, the soundtrack to the psychedelic film Wonderwall. Harrison was given full creative control over the music by the film's director Joe Massot, and it gave the Beatle the chance to explore his passion for Indian music.
