Why did they make a Brahmin guy play a low caste role?
I am confused. The kid was obviously low caste, but the grown up was brahmin aka upper caste?
I didn’t think he was a “Brahmin guy,” but I agree in spirit: I thought the casting was a bit off. Especially when you see the real person the movie was based on. I guess they think the audience would just see everyone as “brown Indian”? Yet if you know Indian ethnic groups / classes, it looks like making the real guy Black and having the adult played by a White guy!
