Casting was challenging because you wanted to find the chemistry between the boys. It was terrific when they met, and now they love each other and are everywhere all the time, just like actual brothers. We got this gift because there weren’t a lot of famous Pakistani, Indian, or South Asian actors, so we had to make discoveries, which is rare. Most studios want celebrities because they have a better chance of getting the show recognized. That wasn’t an opportunity for us, so we got to discover actors.
