Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: play.api.libs.functional.syntax.package

I am getting this following error (Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: play.api.libs.functional.syntax.package) while I am trying to run my code I have right dependencies and added right Jar in my spark lib folder still unable to figure it out.

play-json_2.11-2.7.4.jar --> /usr/lib/spark/jars/

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.typesafe.play</groupId>
   <artifactId>play-json_2.11</artifactId>
   <version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>

spark-submit --jars /usr/lib/spark/jars/play-json_2.11-2.7.4.jar 
--class com.MyClass 
${jar_path}

Thanks Sri

Answer

Fixed the error I have shaded few Jars which worked perfectly well.
