Filtering objects with json data | Django

When i try to filter the object with the name that i got from the json data the queryset is empty but when i try to filter it with hardcoded value the queryset exists. The name is exactly same in the json data and in the object but it returns empty. name = w.get('name') its type is str. The value is new_template_duke_1 Can you please help why the queryset is empty in this line templates = templates.filter(template_name=name)

    waba = res.get('waba_templates')        templates = MerchantWhatsappTemplate.objects.filter(          merchant=merchant,          approved=False,          rejected=True      )      qs = templates.filter(template_name="new_template_duke_1")      print(qs)       <<<<<<<< Not empty        if not templates.exists():          return        for w in waba:          category = w.get('category')          name = w.get('name')                  <<<<<<   "new_template_duke_1"          status = w.get('status').upper()          rejected_reason = w.get('rejected_reason')          templates = templates.filter(              template_name=name          )          print(templates)           <<<<<<< Empty queryset  

"waba_templates": [{        "category": "AUTO_REPLY",        "components": [          {            "text": "body with emoji 😀 and variable 1",            "type": "BODY"          },          {            "format": "TEXT",            "text": "New header with variable  1",            "type": "HEADER"          },          {            "text": "footer available",            "type": "FOOTER"        ],        "language": "en",        "name": "new_template_duke_1",        "rejected_reason": "INVALID_FORMAT",        "status": "rejected"      },
