Naveen - Farhan Akhtar

Esmeralda - Amanda Crew

and I switched actors for Phoebus and Tarzan Farhan is Indian, not African, but I did a little research, and appently, Naveen is racily ambiguous, although his name is Indian. I personally feel that Farhan is too fair skinned to play him (He'd make a good Mowgi though). Since Naveen doesn't have a specific race (and is from a fictional country), I would probably cast a mixed race actor, with somewhat dark skin. That way they aren't contradicting the movie.
