In the tweet, we can see that Taanaji is spelt as Tanhaji.

According to a report in Cine Blitz, the spelling of Taanaji was changed owing to numerology and astrological predictions. Numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi revealed to the entertainment portal that, “They (producers) often come to me for consultation for their film titles. We had suggested that now since the film is opening in 2020, they change the title.
