Amar Akbar Anthony

Amar Akbar Anthony was a hit. It needs no introduction (if you were born in India, say around 70s-90s). The title song of the movie goes something like this "Honi ko anhoni kar de anhoni ko honi". Now if you observe closely, the word anhoni is very similar to Anthony. Now I know it was just a song and the similarity of the two words could have been just coincidental, or the it was only used for the making the song more musical, but some how I feel there must be more to it than just for lyrical purposes. May be it was that Amitabh Bachchan's character Anthony, was supposed to be unlucky or his birth was unfortunate in the movie. Was this the reason that the character was named something that souded so much similar to anhoni. Or may be there was a whole different angle that the writer and lyricist wanted to portray. And if you are still reading this I applaud you for your vella-pan, you have reached my level of vella-pan, or even higher. Congrats :P.
