Recently, the trailer for the biopic on PM Modi released and brought with itself a fair share of confusion, memes, and apparently, wrongful credits.
As per the film poster, lyricists Javed Akhtar and Sameer have been credited for the movie’s music. However, both have denied to have contributed to the movie in any form.
Both Sameer and Javed Akhtar denied writing songs for the movie via their Twitter handles.
Am shocked to find my name on the poster of this film. Have not written any songs for it ! pic.twitter.com/tIeg2vMpVG

Twitter was, naturally, quick to credit multiple comments to the apparent mistake.
This is how it is under the reign of #Aadhaar. Your identity does not belong to you anymore. The State owns you & can use you whichever way it wants. 😬https://t.co/WjDz4gZweD

Baki jo bhi name hai movie me un logo ne movie me kam kiya hai ya twitter use nahi karte ?!!!😂
If the credits are already misrepresented, wonder what else apparent mistakes the movie may have?
