We love boycotting things, but sometimes they end up with us with embarrassing mistakes that we would sooner forget. In one such incident, Desi twitter ended up confused between two people of the same name, and the results were hilarious.
Author Tom Holland shared his opinion on the fact that the cricket stadium in Gujarat’s Motera was renamed the Narendra Modi Stadium on twitter. People promptly assumed it was Tom Holland, who plays Spiderman in eponymous film series. Enraged, they started trending #boycottspiderman, without knowing who the author Tom Holland is.
I’m a huge admirer of the modesty Modi showed in naming the world’s largest cricket stadium after himself.

That’s it – I’m never going to watch a Spiderman film again! Some sacrifices have to be made… Country 1st… Movie later https://t.co/05m6Qebzvs

Spiders are foreign agents! https://t.co/g9PGZ3f1ri
‘Author’ Tom Holland also tweeted to clarify the situation, in his own hilarious way.
My campaign to get all those superhero films cancelled proceeds apace, mwah ha ha ha! https://t.co/muq9kxzTrX

Oh dear – I seem single-handedly to have destroyed prospects for the next Spider-Man in India. https://t.co/VKrO2O8PeO

My apologies to @SpiderManMovie. I should have remembered that with great power comes great responsibility.
— Tom Holland (@holland_tom) February 25, 2021
Just for the record, & to save Marvel’s profits in India, I freely acknowledge that Narendra Modi is a man of immense humility, and that his naming the world’s largest cricket stadium after himself is in no way quite hilariously immodest.
