Rumours are rife that Deepika Padukone, who recently
mentioned that she is open to doing Hollywood projects, has auditioned for the
new 'xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ film
starring Vin Diesel.
The actress has dropped a hint regarding this by posting a
picture of her hugging the Hollywood star on Twitter. The snapshot has ‘The
Fast and the Furious’ star with his back to the camera as Deepika looks up from
his shoulder and a logo of ‘xXx’ in the backdrop.
In 2013, Deepika was reportedly offered a role in the
seventh instalment of the action franchise ‘The Fast and the Furious’, but it
couldn’t happen. The actress was apparently neck deep with her Bollywood commitments.
She was then busy shooting for ‘Happy New Year’ and had also
given her dates to ‘Goliyoon Ki Raasleela, Ram-Leela’. So, she had no choice
but to decline the role. However, Deepika has no regrets over not being able to
work in the blockbuster movie.
Some time ago Deepika had revealed that she was ready to
explore work in the West. Talking to reporters at the week-long Jio MAMI Mumbai
Film Festival heldin October-November, the 29-year-old actress had said, “I am
interested in doing Hollywood films. I am ready to explore opportunities in the
West and if something interesting comes along, I don’t mind taking it up.”
According to reports, the third movie of the action series ‘xXx’
is underway and Vin Diesel will return to the cast after a gap of 13 years. He
was part of the first film in 2002, but was not present in ‘xXx: State of The
Union’ which released in 2005.
Now, with Deepika’s pictorial revelation on the social
platform, there is a possibility that the ‘Om Shanti Om’ actress will be cast
in the film.
