EastEnders' Masood Ahmed is to be taken back to his childhood when his younger brother AJ arrives in Albert Square.

Paul Sharma has been cast as mechanic AJ in the soap, who will arrive in the show later this year hoping to rebuild his relationship with Masood, played by Nitin Ganatra.

Rebel AJ is set to cause trouble for Masood within minutes of his arrival, and as the complete opposite of his sister-in-law Zainab Masood, played by Nina Wadia, those two are set to clash.

But it is also revealed that as the brothers begin to bond, much to Zainab's disapproval, Masood will start to wonder if AJ has really come just to see him, or if he is running away from something.

Paul has appeared in Casualty and Doctors and has previously worked with Nitin on Meet The Magoons.
