In 2017, Deepika Padukone made her big Hollywood debut with xXx: Return of Xander Cage ( the third instalment of the xXx franchise) alongside Vin Diesel. The actress played a huntress, Serena Unger, and Vin Diesel's love interest in the film. xXx: Return of Xander Cage performed phenomenally at the box office across various markets. Though the film failed to impress critics, it went to earn a whopping USD 346 million, an amount that was nearly four times its budget.

When the reports of Vin Diesel returning to the big screen with the next film in the xXx franchise, xXx 4 started doing the rounds on social media, there were rumours that the cast too will return for the fourth installment in xXx franchise, including Deepika Padukone. However, there were no official confirmation on the same until last year when the filmmaker confirmed Deepika's involvement in xXx 4.

Yes, you read that right! Last year, when a curious fan took to Twitter to ask whether Deepika will be a part of the film, DJ replied with a 'Yes!', much to the fan's surprise.
