The teaser for former India Women's captain Jhulan Goswami's biopic 'Chakda Xpress' was released on Thursday. Everyone associated with the film shared the teaser on their social media platforms. Netflix also shared the 1-minute clip on their Twitter handle but made a big mistake which caught everyone's attention. India's former cricketer Aakash Chopra was quick to notice the blunder Netflix had made and promptly asked them to rectify it.
While sharing the teaser video, Netflix tagged the Twitter accounts of everyone associated with the project except for Jhulan Goswami. Netflix did not tag Goswami's account and used her name in the hashtag rather. Aakash Chopra noticed the blunder and asked Netflix to rectify it. "Dear Netflix, Jhulan’s Twitter handle is @JhulanG10. Feel free to tag her…after all…the movie seems to be on her," wrote Chopra in reply to Netflix's post.
