Why does 'Dabangg' have double 'g'?

Considering how superstitious many Bollywood stars have become, it seemed Arbaaz Khan had his first production 'Dabangg' spelt with double 'g'. But he explains otherwise.

'Dabangg' means fearless. We had earlier spelt it as 'Dabang' but many people were reading it 'Da-Bang'. There may be an astrological reason for all you know, but the actual reason is to cause a resonance and stress on 'g' so that the word is pronounced correctly,' Arbaaz said.

'Dabangg' features Arbaaz's elder brother Salman and debutant Sonakshi Sinha. It has been directed by first-timer Abhinav Kashyap.
