Confirmed: Deepika to Head to Hollywood with XXX — Xander Cage Returns

While most rumours are baseless, some stem from the truth.

For a while now, it had been doing the rounds that Bollywood’s sweetheart Deepika Padukone would be making her way to Hollywood. She added fuel to that fire when she uploaded this Instagram post where she has also tagged F&F main man Vin Diesel.

However, the guessing game has come to an end.

The director of the sequel to XXX: The Return Of Xander Cage, D.J. Caruso seems to be more forthcoming than she is. In a Twitter exchange, he confirmed that Deepika is in fact part of the cast and shooting for the movie will commence in January.

Vin Diesel starred as the leading man in 2002’s XXX. A sequel, XXX: State of the Union hit theaters in 2005 and now the third big screen action flick that has been in the pipeline for years is finally moving forward.

Jet Li and Tony Jaa will also be joining the cast, along with Conor McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson.

Who’s excited? We know we are!
