Prominent in the field of arts and literature, Satyajit Ray is a name that comes to everyone’s mind when we talk about the rich history of Indian films. Not just a director but a fine composer, screenwriter and artist Ray is one of the biggest names in the industry.
It is not everyday that we see people getting confused between the two most renowned figures of Indian cinema.
In all its glory, The International Film Festival of India in it’s 50th year has given Satyajit Ray a special makeover.#IFFI2019 pic.twitter.com/FIqsDooU0u

Twitterati was quick to notice the goof-up.
Gulzar sahab be like, "me teja hoon, mark idhar he".

Coincidental that the make-over is Gulzar. At a film festival in Mumbai (psst, you’d know which) a TV reporter accosted him with “sir, sir, please one minute”, took his byte, then asked “sir, may I know your good name” 🤦🏽♀️

Is it their take on the “gonna tell my kids this was Satyajit ray” meme format?

Incredible. I fear the IFFI may have misspelt its own name. This year, it’s clearly IFFY.

An embarrassing low for the International Film Festival of India. Something that they must apologize for.
