It's unclear whether he used the #Netflixherewecome to actually hint at a possible collaboration or was just joking about all the possibilities that arose with the twitter query. We are just excited that the book is actually being turned into a film/TV series.

Will it become the first Pakistani book to be turned into a Netflix original? We can only hope so!
