Twitter lit up today not by a trailer or a celeb’s tweet but by social media banter between two rival streaming platforms. However, the focal point of the banter was Manoj Bajpayee who is basking in the glory of his Amazon Prime Video’s The Family Man 2. The ace actor will be seen next in Netflix’s Ray and that started a hilarious banter between the official Twitter handles of the two streaming platforms. And, guess who was the most amused other than the netizens? Srikant Tiwari aka Manoj himself!
As Netflix released the much-awaited trailer of Ray yesterday and referred to Manoj’s Amazon Prime Video series The Family Man 2 and wrote, “"@ManojBajpayee coming to a Netflix series! We love that you are a part of this family, man (sic)."

Amazon Prime soon hopped in the tweet thread and asked if Srikant Tiwari (Manoj’s character in The Family Man 2) has had great difficulty in changing jobs as he will play the role of a ghazal singer in Ray. They tweeted, “srikant, job badalne mein bada drastic change hua hoga na? (sic).”
