• The movie X’s plot has striking similarities with Harlan Ellison’s short story trilogy, “I have no mouth”, ”Soldier” and “Demon with a Glass hand” .
• Though Ellison was not acknowledged for any inspiration, the director Y did an interview with Starlog magazine, where he was asked where he got the idea for X. He was reported to have bragged that he ripped it off a couple of Harlan Ellison short stories.
• Unfortunately for Y, Ellison was friends with some of the staff there, who leaked him the original draft of the interview containing the admission and took Y to court. Hence, harlan Ellison has an acknowledgement credit for ‘X’ to this very day.

• Construction of X occurred in three stages across 199 years. Work on X began on August 14, 1173, during a period of military success and prosperity. X was finally completed in 1372. There has been controversy about the real identity of the architect of the X. For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonanno . However, recent studies seem to indicate Diotisalvi as the original architect due to the time of construction. However, Diotisalviusually signed his work and there is no signature on X, leading to speculation. During World War II, the Allies discovered that the Germans were using the X as an observation post. A U.S. Army sergeant sent to confirm the presence of German troops in the tower was impressed by the beauty of the X and thus refrained from ordering an artillery strike, sparing it from destruction.

• This is how the story of their formation goes: ◦ It was during A’s jingles career that the idea of X was conceived. A had called in B to sing a jingle for him one evening in 1992. The lyrics for the jingle were late coming in. The restless A began crooning something while strumming on his guitar, B felt inspired to jam with an alaap, and the result: the seamless fusion of Eastern and Western sounds that has become the quintessential characteristic of X. Their unique brand of music fused Indian and Western musical genres instantly won the hearts of young and old alike. Their eponymous first album hit platinum in sales in India alone and consistently headed the Indian music charts in 1996.
