And it still a good movie

I just saw the movie today. I'm not familiar with the book, but I did a double-take when they flashed the name of Ejiofor's character. I was like, "Victor Kapoor?"
Why is he named that, if he's . . . I mean, is he playing Indian? Oh no, it's Aloha part 2. But then they explained that with the line about his mother being Baptist (read, black) and his father being Hindu.
After the film, I got on my phone and looked into it, and it said that the actor that was supposed to play Victor, Irrfan Khan, backed out at the last minute.
