Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior: Is Ajay Devgn’s Obsession With Numerology Behind Movie Trailer’s Unusual Release Time?

Ajay Devgn launched the trailer of his ambitious upcoming period drama “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior” at 1.47 pm on Tuesday. While slices of violence in the trailer suggest the film may not be for the fainthearted, actor-producer Ajay certainly has piqued public curiosity with his very specific release time of the promo clip.

Well, releasing the trailer at exactly 1.47 pm could have to do with Bollywood’s well-known obsession with good luck charms and numerology. Ajay himself altered the spelling of his surname from Devgan to Devgn early in his career. In this case, too, the film was initially marketed as “Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior” before the spelling being changed to “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior“.

About two hours before unveiling the much-awaited trailer, Ajay took to Twitter on Tuesday to write: “Harr ek Maratha mein chupa hai laakh Maratha! #TanhajiTrailer out today at 1:47 PM.”

Set in the 17th century, the Om Raut directorial is based on the life of Tanaji Malusare, an unsung warrior of Indian history and the military leader in the army of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, founder of the Maratha Empire.

Ajay tweeted the link of the over three-minute long trailer with the caption: “4th Feb 1670: The surgical strike that shook the Mughal Empire! Witness history like never before.”
