Over the weekend, a few pictures of Pakistani A-listers went viral on social media. The celebrities such as Faysal Quraishi, Aijaz Aslam, Zhalay Sarhadi, Saboor Aly, Anoushay Abbasi, Asad Siddiqui, Naveed Raza and Mehmood Aslam could be seen posing for a photo shoot that went viral on social media.
The photo shoot comprised of the said celebs posing for mugshots. What caught the attention of many users were the names on those mugshots. Each celeb was named after a city in Pakistan, such as Raza as Lalamusa, Aly as Sahiwal, Sarhadi as Mianwali, Aslam as Rahim Yar Khan. Stumbling upon the pictures, many Twitter users saw 'blatant' copy of popular Netflix series, Money Heist, also known as La Casa De Papel.
And then the memes ensued.

Responding to the trolling, Aslam shared that the audience should wait for few days to see what the project is about and then jumo to conclusions.
