First pictures! Paul Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody spotted on set of Fast & Furious 7 in Abu Dhabi

Just days after it was announced Paul Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody would be stepping in to help finish the actor's last film, the siblings have been seen on set of Fast & Furious 7.
Cody, 25, and older brother Caleb, 36, were captured in the background of a video by Ludacris on Saturday.
The Fast & Furious veteran posted the video featuring himself and Tyrese Gibson going to pat some tigers in Abu Dhabi and Paul's brothers can be seen smiling and walking along with their now co-stars.

Shortly after the video went up the rapper pulled it off his Instagram without explanation.

Both Cody and Caleb sported near identical cropped haircuts and facial hair lending weight to the idea that both men will be stepping in front of the camera to help finish the film.
The seventh installment of the popular car franchise was half way through filming when Paul was killed in a car crash on November 30.

Following the accident, production on the film went on indefinite hiatus as producers struggled with whether to still put out the film and, if the decided to continue, how to do it in a way that would both honour the late star and satisfy fans.
On December 13, the MailOnline exclusively revealed that the actor's lookalike younger brother, Cody, had been asked to step in and help complete the film, and then this week producers released a statement confirming that both Cody and older brother Caleb will be playing vital roles in the seventh movie in the hit franchise.
In a statement released on the film's Facebook page, fans were introduced to the newest members of the Fast & Furious 'family'.

The statement said: 'The FAST & FURIOUS saga is about family. The characters are connected by the bond of family, and it is how all of us who have worked together for more than thirteen years feel about each other.
'Our family experienced an unthinkable shock in November. We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother we love and lost, and to figure out if we should move on with our film.'
It goes on to state that after 'coming together' to grieve the loss, it was decided by everyone involved that 'the only choice was to continue' filming, adding: 'We believe our fans want that, and we believe Paul would want that too.'

While the 40-year-old had already completed 'his dramatic scenes and most of his action' - which the producers cite as being 'among the strongest work of his career' - his brothers have been brought in to 'fill in small gaps left in production'.
'We have resumed shooting and now welcome Paul’s brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our FAST family. Caleb and Cody are helping us complete some remaining action for their brother and fill in small gaps left in production. Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is with us too.'
Now it is back filming the eagerly-anticipated seventh instalment is set to hit cinemas on April 10 next year.
