The casting is rather interesting since it has a bunch of fresh and young talent set to keep you on the edge of your seat. The lead actors - Ved Rao and his twin brother Vrund Rao -- are of Indian origin and came to Australia in 2008 when they were only four and a half years old.

With a popular social media presence, she is all set to glam up your screens very soon. 

Coming to Abigail Adriano, she plays the role of Rose Aquino in the upcoming show and is a total entertainer. On the other hand, Nya Cofie plays the role of Jacob in the show and we cannot wait for her story to unfurl further.
