Coca Gómez reveals that the fiction project was not always called 'Machos': "originally it was '7 Hermanos', then 'Hijos de Tigre' and it was the great Carlos Leppe (who died in 2015 and was an art director) the one who led us to 'Machos'. His first proposal was 'Macho Bruto' and finally it became 'Machos, la brutal pasión de siete hermanos'."
