The drawing of a penis with a foreskin that Saleem shows his brothers and sister proved unexpectedly difficult. Chris Bisson can't draw so an artist was commissioned to sketch the object in question, but upon seeing the finished result, it was quickly decided that it looked too odd. It transpired that the artist was in fact circumcised and had no familiarity with foreskins, so the cast and crew were asked if anyone could draw and would like to volunteer his penis. Fortunately, one of the set photographers fit both requirements.
Based on a popular stage production of the same name; most of the actors returned to reprise their roles in the movie.
Writer Ayub Khan-Din based the story on several of his own life experiences growing up in a multi-cultural family.
A cut scene featured a discussion where George's children tried to debate amongst themselves what their nationality was after Peggy cruelly calls Meenah a 'Paki'. The scene was initially intended to speak volumes about the mixed views each child had regarding nationality; only Maneer was shown to believe himself a Pakistani while the others determined to be Anglo-Indian or English.
All of the actors portraying George's children were born in England and could easily relate to their characters' feelings of being brought up to be British while being expected to maintain their family's cultural values and beliefs.
"George Khan: ...when I come this country, I have no luggage. Today what I got? Meenah Khan: You got a chip shop, Dad. George Khan: Right. Own bloody business, see."
"Stella Moorhouse: I'll never let the colour of your Dad come between us. It's not fair coz I love curry an' all. Tariq Khan: Yeah. Nice one."
