    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Amritraj was cast in Octopussy (1983), a problem arose because he was neither a member of British Equity nor of the Screen Actors Guild. Therefore Albert R. Broccoli asked his friend Leonard Goldberg to arrange a guest appearance for Vijay on Fantasy Island (1977) in order to receive SAG membership and subsequent Equity approval.
