The sticker triggered laughter online and many poked fun at it. A user commented, “Exactly, the way McDonald introduced “Aloo Tikki Burgers” for Indian consumers.” Another user wrote, “copying from foreign countries and slapping your label onto it is indianization, indeed.” A third user wrote, “Keeping the competition aside.”

Such twists to Hollywood movies never fail to amuse netizens. In 2016, a series of posters depicting Bollywood actors starring in Hollywood films went viral on social media. The YouTube channel Shudh Desi Endings came up with the hilarious posters. Actors Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol were seen in a spinoff poster of the film ‘The Hangover’ among others.
