Over the past few days, social media has been buzzing with images claiming that Shraddha Kapoor has been cast as Boa Hancock in the upcoming seasons of Netflix’s One Piece live-action series. The posts, especially the ones floating around on Facebook and Instagram, show Shraddha perfectly styled as the Pirate Empress, almost convincing enough to look official. Naturally, this sparked excitement among Indian fans who loved the idea of a Bollywood star entering the world of One Piece.
But the real story behind these images is very different.
The pictures that went viral are not from Netflix, Toei, or any official production team. They are AI-generated fan edits. In fact, the images post itself clearly mentions that the images are “not real — just a fanmade creation,” but that detail was conveniently ignored as the pictures spread across social media.
As of now, there has been absolutely no announcement from Netflix or the official creators confirming Shraddha Kapoor’s involvement in the series. There is no casting update, no media report, and no production hint suggesting Boa Hancock has been assigned to any actress yet — let alone Shraddha.
