gotofile does not work "Project"

[nippyin]

I have following mapping to search the word under cursor which works just fine, only if I first cd into the directory where these files names exist.
map('n', 'gf', [[<CMD>lua require'telescope.builtin'.find_files({find_command={'fd','-L', '-H', '-p', vim.fn.expand("<cword>"), vim.fn.getcwd()}})<cr>]], {})

When I select a project from picker it changes the current working directory to that project location. but now if I try to search the word under cursor it does not search that. I am not quite getting what I am missing here.

Another thing to notice is if I enter manually the path of the project then it works.

In the following test case, I select the project from the telescope picker and entered into the project, then selected a file. now from that file I want to search keyword name under my cursor using goto. the expected behaviour is I should see popup with all the files it has found with that name.

Working
lua require'telescope.builtin'.find_files({find_command={'fd','-L', '-H', '-p', vim.fn.expand("<cword>"), '/Users/userName/folder1/folder2'}})

Not Working
