India Twitteratis attack Spiderman star Tom Holland confusing him with the British author and cricketer of the same name. The feud started after the author Tom Holland tweeted about Indian Prime Minister Modi, which fueled anger among Indians.
I’m a huge admirer of the modesty Modi showed in naming the world’s largest cricket stadium after himself.

Mr. Holland was referring to the Motera, Ahmedabad, located facility that can seat up to 132,000 people, the world’s biggest such cricket stadium. Earlier called Sardar Patel Stadium, it was on Wednesday inaugurated by President Ram Nath Kovind following a revamp, and renamed after the Prime Minister.
Not always a good sign for countries when leaders start pulling that trick…

The author responded to the mixup in a hilarious tweet,
Oh dear – I seem single-handedly to have destroyed prospects for the next Spider-Man in India. https://t.co/VKrO2O8PeO
