Paul's brother - Cody, 25, and older brother Caleb, 36, were captured in the background. Also in the backdrop of the video we can spot the famed Burj Al Arab hotel.

"Tigon. Lion & Tiger mix. Only 50 in the world. #dubai #bucketlistexecutor," Ludacris posted on Instagram Saturday along with a shot of the trio in Dubai only to be removed later on.

The crew is currently in the UAE filming Fast & Furious 7 with the late star's brother making an appearance on the trip as well.

Following Paul's 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.

Later it was announced on Facebook that Paul's two brothers would be filling in for him in order to complete some of his unfinished scenes in the upcoming flick.

"The Fast & Furious saga is about family," the post read. "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. It certainly defines how we feel about our fans."
