Ananya Panday as Nefertari Vivi

Ananya Panday is making waves in the entertainment industry. She has an effortless grace as a performer that makes her a perfect fit for Nefertari Vivi. Vivi, the princess of Alabasta, is a figure of elegance, but beneath that royal facade lies a steely determination. Panday’s performances in work like Gehraiyaan highlight her ability to embody characters with depth, determination, and a fighting spirit, making her an ideal choice for the role.

Nefertari Vivi is not just about her royal duties; she’s also got heart, loyalty, and an unyielding commitment to her people and friends. Panday’s filmography shows a pattern of roles where her characters display fierce dedication to their loved ones, as well as an unbreakable spirit. It’s clear that Ananya Panday has the necessary range to bring to life Vivi’s personality, capturing the essence of a princess who is as loyal to her friends as she is to her kingdom.

Max Talisman as King Wapol

When it comes to portraying eccentric and distinct characters, Max Talisman truly shines. His roles in stuff like Super Dark Times  and Orange Is The New Black showcase his ability to dive deep into offbeat personalities. This makes him the perfect candidate for the role of King Wapol, one of the most gluttonous and self-centered characters in the entire One Piece series. Wapol is vain and quick to anger, and Talisman could embody the part.

A character like King Wapol requires an actor with impeccable comedic timing, and Talisman’s natural sense of humor and ability to deliver lines with a comedic punch fits the bill. In Talisman’s capable hands, every scene featuring King Wapol would turn into an unforgettable moment. It’s the little peculiarities, the humorous undertones, and the unexpected reactions that make Wapol memorable.
