Murli becomes Mur “Lee”
The name spelling game begins again. This from Smashits.com
The numerology bug has been the most contagious in the film industry and the latest celebrity smitten by it is character artiste Murli Sharma. Murli Sharma made impressive presence in successful films like ‘Main Hoon Na’ and ‘Apaharan’ in negative characters. The actor bumped into numerologist Sanjay Jumani (oz comment: That bumping happened after an “appointment” for bumping was confirmed) for professional and personal reasons. During their conversation Jumani concluded that Murli should change his spelling from Murli to Mur “Lee” (oz comment: Why not Moo Lee? Perhaps was too “Englisss” so Mur was left unchanged). Now this may sound something like “Bruce Lee” and this may amuse Bollywood buffs that an international star has been hired for an Indian film (oz comment: You kidding? Mur Lee is authentic Indian Jumanized name and it sounds better than Murli).
Murli’s actor friend Sumit Raghavan (”Sarabhai versus Sarabhai”, “Resham Dankh”) contacted Murli to meet Sanjay Jumani. According to Murli, Sanjay has great liking for his films and had shown desire to meet him personally. It was a flattering move by Sanjay Jumani. The idea of spell change triggered there and Murli preferred it because foreigners can pronounce it better (oz comment: Getting an Indian name easily pronounced can be tough in the West. Infact if you are adamant like me, and don’t change your name it invariably gets changed by the prononciation. Now I invariably have 2 more names - Pan and Pankaeee - go figure!) Murli has been busy in outdoor shoot locations in London.
Perhaps I should approach Jumani saab and get the site name changed. What would Desi Train become? Dicey Train?
