Change of spelling is ‘paying' dividends

Manoj Bajpayee is in the reckoning with not one but five films. There is Money Hai to Honey Hai with Ganesh Acharya, Jugaad with Anand Sharma, Acid Factory and Blade with Sanjay Gupta, and Rajneeti with Prakash Jha, which will see the actor in diversified roles.

Wonder whether the actor's surname spelling change, from Bajpai to Bajpayee, has anything to do with this.

Ask the actor and he, however, explains that this was his original spelling and he wants to get back to it again.

"The industry hanged my spelling at different credit lines across different films. And I didn't really bother but now I felt that I should be particular about it," says the actor.

Wonder if wife Shabana who has something to do with this surname spell check if not the numerologist!
