Hi @KushwanthK!  
Maybe there is an issue with the version of transformers you have installed?  
Which version are you using?

```auto
# get transformers version
import transformers
print(transformers. __version__ )

```

To upgrade your version run:

```auto
python -m pip install -U transformers

```

Mhh could you share the contents of your `requirements.txt` so I could try to reproduce the error on my machine?
