The song X from the film is an iconic track and has almost turned into an
anthem of sorts. The lyrics for this raging number have been penned by
Y, who is one of the inspirations behind making of the film. Even though
most of the song was written by Y, Javed Akhtar supposedly made a
crucial change that gave a completely new meaning to the track.
Initially, when Y wrote the lyrics for the song, he used "Sabka". Later,
when Javed Akhtar read the lyrics, he suggested that "Sabka" should be
replaced by "Apna". He believed this minor change would help connect
people to the song at a much higher level individually.

X was accused by columnist Shobha De of endorsing stalking. X's maker
was livid. "How do I respond to this? I don't even want to react to an
opinion so absurd and myopic. Has she seen Y(primarily where movie
was shot), felt its pulse? Does she know what the city is all about? Does
she understand the feelings of the young in the small cities where two
people still cannot go out on a date? There's a life beyond metropolises
that some people who have grown up in the metros cannot understand.
And I don't see the need to explain myself to them. It's different
cultural breeding.

The Director began work X dealing with the concept of "generations". The
idea initially revolved around two daughters-in-law. However, on the advice
of his cousin, filmmaker Aditya Chopra, who thought that the male
characters would be too weak, Karan decided to tweak the story-line to
make it the story of two brothers.
The inspiration behind X came from Yash Chopra's Kabhi Kabhie (1976). On
being inspired by the classic, the director quoted, "What appealed to me was
the fact that the love story stretched out across generations. It began with
youth and went on as the people grew older. You could say that Kabhi
Kabhie is the starting point for my new film, that I am inspired by it. But the
film, I am sure, will be very different. It will look different, feel different."
Similarly, X added an extra "e" to the second third word in the title of his
film, due to numerological reasons. According to him his debut film was
"frothy and bubble-gummish", this one was "more classy and sophisticated".
Id the film X.
