Previously, fans had discovered an Indian connect for actors Alba Flores and Miguel Herrán, who play Nairobi and Rio on the show, respectively. Herrán starred in a desi commercial almost five years ago, and his fans are only just noticing it.
Director Alex Rodrigo also picked a hypothetical desi cast for the show.
In an interview on YouTube channel BehindwoodsTV, Rodrigo was shown pictures of several Indian actors such as Vijay and Shah Rukh Khan and asked to cast them in the roles. Rodrigo said that it wasn't easy to pick one, but that Ayushmann Khurrana would probably make for an excellent Indian version of the Professor. He also picked Ranveer Singh as Denver and Surya as Suarez.
