Kerala Tourism Department came under fire for a recent tweet in which they claimed that Spiderman movie stars Tom Holland and Zendaya were enjoying their vacation in the popular hill station of Munnar. The tweet featured a morphed image of the stars in front of a tea plantation in Munnar, which turned out to be an old picture from months ago.

The tourism department’s official Twitter page was soon flooded with trolls, and the tweet was widely criticized for spreading misinformation. Many questioned the ethics of the government’s official page playing pranks on the public, especially given the seriousness of the ongoing pandemic.
It has been confirmed that the stars are in India, but they are not in Munnar. They have arrived to attend the opening ceremony of Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center (NMACC) in Mumbai. The event is expected to be a grand affair with several high-profile guests in attendance.
