4. • It is said that the small engraved mirrors in the area where
the song was shot, would sparkle under the camera's
intense lights and made it impossible to shoot. Even
consultants from Hollywood told Director to give up on the
idea provided the impossible task of shooting against such
intense glare. He thought of an idea: all those small
mirrors, roughly in thousands, would be covered in a very
thin covering of wax, so that they did not reflect any light
and still you can see as clean as it can be without any blur.
One version of the story states that he confined himself to
the set for days on end in various standing, sitting and lying
down positions until he could find that single spot where
the problem was rectified and the immortal scene was
filmed.

• The Director originally wanted to cast Tom
Cruise for the lead role, as he wanted it to be
an Indo-American affair, but was dissuaded by
his producer, who did not want a foreign
star Instead they decided to go with a theme
of non-resident Indians (NRIs).

• No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way
people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or
some shit like that. You say "no problemo."
And if someone comes on to you with an
attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to
shine them on it's “X"
19. Y on X
• Since we had to search out our own entertainment, we
devised our own fairy stories. If you wanted a bow and
arrow you got a stick. If you wanted to conduct an
orchestra you got a stick. If you wanted a duel you used
a stick. You couldn't go and buy one; that's where the
terms X came from. Whenever we played a game
where we had a grocery store or something we called it
the X. Why? Because in the yellow pages if you
looked, say, under drugstores, you'd find the first one
would be X Drugs. Why? Because "AC" was about as
high as you could go; it means the best; the
superlative.
