Guess who is the latest filmmaker to be bitten by the numerology bug? None other than Sangeeth Sivan, the director of KYAA KOOL HAI HUM, who has realized that there is more in the name than what, appears to the eye. Sivan has recently got his name and signature corrected from numerologist, tarot, handwriting and signatures specialist Niraj Mancchanda. He will now spell his name as "SANGET SHIVAN".

It so happened that Niraj had told "Sanget" last year that 2005 would be a fabulous year for him but the due credit for the film's success would not go to him, because of his bad name number and signature. As expected, KYAA KOOL HAI HUM became a super hit but it was producer Ekta Kapoor who took away all the credit for the film's success. Says Mancchanda, "Where directors are hyped to sky with small hits, Sanget did not get his due even after making a universal hit like KYAA KOOL HAI HUM."

Shivan (as he now spells it) has ever since switched over to a positive name number that adds up to 42 (we are told it was 47 earlier). The positive vibes have already started working with Subhash Ghai and Feroz Nadiadwala recently signing him to direct films for their respective banners.

Says Shivan, "Niraj's advice is on target. The way you spell your name can make a world of difference. I have got my name and signature corrected and I have decided to title both my films numerologicaly."

Meanwhile it is rumored that John Mathew Matthan, the director of SARFAROSH, has also approached Mancchanda for the title of his new Ajay-Shahid starrer.
