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.
