X played the role of Victor Vega in the directors debut venture and was asked to play a character

We all know Danny Denzongpa was the first choice for Gabbar in Sippy’s Sholay but he couldn’t give

time as he was busy shooting in Afganisthan for the movie X, Hema Malini happened to be the only

person who was part of both the films, X turned out to be a hit in 1975 despite the release of Sholay and Deewar and gave its director Y a new height. X was

the first film to be shot in Afganisthan and with scenes featuring Buzkashi earned Z his 5th filmfare award for best cinematographer in 1976. [Hint: Z

was the cinematographer in Bimal Roy movies including Do Bigha Zameen and Devdas]
