Although the real-life 'Driss' was a young Algerian man called Abdel, directors Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache changed the character's nationality to Senegalese, as they had enjoyed working with Omar Sy on Troppo amici (2009), and really wanted him to play the part. Sy also had the experience of living in the impoverished French suburbs, just like Driss.
