azure_Rm_deployment module does not work with parameters file.

[banicr]

I am trying to use the azure_rm_deployment module to create azure vm. I have a custom byol template.
This template works fine if i use just the template.
But when i pass the parameters file along with the template, it throws the below mentioned error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed_deployment_operations": [], "msg": "Deployment failed with status code: 400 and message: Operation failed with status: 'Bad Request'. Details: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscription_id>/resourcegroups/<resource_group>/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/<deployment_name??api-version=2017-05-10"}

When i click on the link, it gives some authorization error as shown below:
{"error":{"code":"AuthenticationFailed","message":"Authentication failed. The 'Authorization' header is missing."}}

But it does not throw this error if i remove the "parameters: "{{ (lookup('file', 'parameters.json') | from_json).parameters }}"" line from the playbook and pass the default values in the template file.
