Ever since they joined forces in the 2017 American action-thriller xXx: Return of Xander Cage, Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone and Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel have remained good friends. Deepika’s first American and second English film (after 2014’s Finding Fanny) emerged as a major box office success, providing her with an enviable debut in one of the biggest cinema industries in the world.
Meanwhile, Diesel recently took a trip down memory lane and shared an unseen photo of himself with Deepika during his visit to India, fulfilling a promise that he’d made to his xXx co-star. In the picture that Diesel posted on Instagram, he can be seen helping Deepika wear a fur overcoat as he smiles. Return of Xander Cage director DJ Caruso, in the meantime, can be seen seated in the driver’s seat of an autorickshaw.
In the lengthy and heartfelt post, Diesel also thanked all the directors who have expressed their wish to work with him again. He also teased his fans with details regarding the nature of his upcoming film, which will be helmed by Caruso. “When I think about the amount of directors that have wanted to work with me more than once I am always just humbled. This is a pic of when I went to India as I promised Deepika I would, with the director at the time, DJ Caruso,” he wrote.
“While we are currently juggling the order of the productions, my oldest daughter read the script that DJ sent to me, thinking that it would fall into the Pacifier bracket. She cried… I asked her why she cried, and she said because the story of a brother and sister rang true for her and it was emotional.
“Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em, Mattel’s Follow up to Barbie… Universal’s Kojak, Witch Hunter, Riddick4 and of course the finale to Fast are all fighting for position. Blessed,” he mentioned.
The Hollywood star ended his post by asking his fans, “If I could make the film work that my daughter cried reading, my question for you would be, who would play my sister… she suggested Jennifer Lawrence. What do you think?”
Diesel was last seen in director Louis Leterrier’s Fast X (2023), the eleventh instalment overall in the Fast & Furious franchise. Deepika, on the other hand, starred in Siddharth Anand’s aerial actioner Fighter.
