no sound-proof stages, X was largely shot at night. They
would commence shooting at 1 am after the last local
train had ground to a halt and pack up before the first
train left Churchgate station at the stroke of 4 am. The
crew also had to be extra-cautious about extraneous
noises, as they were shooting with a Tanar ‘single-system’
camera, which recorded sound directly on to the film. X
took months because of the hazards of having to record
under difficult conditions and the need to keep the
project a secret.”

don't mind not receiving this kind of adulation. But I do
miss not having been able to command the kind of work
I wanted. I miss not being 100 per cent commercially

• 13. Foreword for whose Biography? Part points for the name of
the biography.
• “X has given cinema just that with his seamless artistry. He struck
terror in the heart of the audience, assuaging them finally with
the moral - ladies and gentlemen, evil does not win.
• ___________ is a thankless job which X accepted and carried out
with such a degree of perfection that he became the actor the
entire nation loved to hate. That indeed was the measure of his
extraordinary success. Parents did not want their children to meet
him. Occasionally, he would even be feared and dreaded at
public gatherings.
• Evidently he came to terms with that, bemused with the power of
cinema to influence the audience in a way that sketches only a
thin line between the real and the reel. Subsequently the
thespian turned the tables with a marvellous sleight of hand. He
donned the mantle of a character artist with equal skill and
felicity. Versatility became his imprimatur.”
