On Tuesday, Netflix India took to Twitter to wish 'House of Cards' star Kevin Spacey on his 57th birthday.
Happy birthday, Spacey Ji! #FU2016pic.twitter.com/iSwaotCmLW

The photo-shopped billboard wished Spacey in Hindi and had a desi political party flavour featuring characters from the 'House of Cards' show.
Little did they realize that their hot competitor in India, Hotstar, ran a similar billboard campaign last year to promote their show, called On Air With AIB, with the comedy collective All India Bakchod.

The Twitter slugfest began 24 hours ago and we believe it won't end anytime soon.
