The Bollywood actress will return in the fourth instalment of the action series, featuring Vin Diesel in the lead role
Actress Deepika Padukone, who made her Hollywood debut with the Vin Diesel-starrer xXx: Return of Xander Cage, will return to the franchise for its fourth instalment, according to its director DJ Caruso.
Caruso, on Twitter, welcomed Chinese singer-actor Roy Wang to the xXx family on Monday.
A social media user then asked: “What about Deepika Padukone. Will she be a part of the film””
“Yes,” replied Caruso, thereby confirming that the popular actress will be back in the action-packed franchise.
Asked if there was any update on Padukone’s shooting schedule for the film, Caruso responded to a fan: “Working it out now, script being scheduled.”
Padukone’s foray into Hollywood had created a strong buzz. In fact, Diesel made his maiden visit to India last year when he headed to Mumbai with Caruso and the Bollywood actress to promote xXx: Return of Xander Cage.
The franchise began with the 2002 film xXx, which was followed by the 2005 entertainer xXx: State of the Union.
The third xXx movie, featuring Padukone as Serena Unger, had grossed over $300 million worldwide (Dh1.1 billion).
