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).
