In case of headless browser you have to set the window size to fire on event.Because headless browser can't recognise where to click without window size.Hope it will work.Give it a try.

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('window-size=1920x1080');

options.headless = True – Corey Goldberg Apr 25 '19 at 23:55
Thanks for the quick response, but I am still getting the same error. I even tried to capture screenshot after the webdriver.get() method. But the screenshot is completely blank – Rohit Apr 26 '19 at 02:29
