Recently, when Bollywood star icon Shah Rukh Khan on his Twitter account revealed that he was unaware of Netflix's 2016 detective mystery Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, the TV show's executive producer Arvind Ethan David couldn’t contain his excitement.

Finally, a deal was made, albeit just on social media for now. David then went on to express his surprise at how celebrity talk travels so fast around the world.
The sci-fi series, which takes inspiration from Douglas Adams’ 1987 namesake book, centres around a murder that leads two strangers to come together during an investigation, which prompts a slew of supernatural activities. It Samuel Barnett, Osric Chau, Mackenzie Gray, and Elijah Wood.
