MUMBAI: What happens when an Indian and a global streaming service get into a social media spat? Hotstar and Netflix on their respective Twitter handles have sparked an entertaining battle over a picture that was posted by Netflix India. The Reed Hastings headed company wanted to wish the House Of Cards star Kevin Spacey in style, and they did, with this picture.
