Namaste England gets a new poster after having the Indian map distorted in the old one

The makers of Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor starrer Namaste England have released a new poster. It's the same one that they released earlier, except for some changed aesthetics.

The previous poster of the film featured a distorted map of India. The Aksai Chin region of Jammu & Kashmir was missing from the map. This is how it looked:

Now, the makers have released a new poster with the corrected map of the country. Parineeti shared the poster on Twitter without any mention of the mistake occurred by the team. Here:

This is not for the first time a Hindi film has gone wrong while showing the map of India. Even one of the most popular patriotic Hindi films of all time, Karma, featured the map of the country without correct borders. See this:

There has been no official objection over the poster of Namaste England so far. The misrepresentation of the Indian map is a violation of the National Map Policy, introduced in 2005. The Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1961, criminalises the act of misrepresentation of India’s external boundaries. It constitutes imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or both.
