Deepika Padukone’s been making some pretty major fans in Hollywood, even before her debut film makes its way to the screen.
After shooting, just the first few scenes of xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, the director DJ Caruso has been gushing about having the 30-year-old Bollywood star on his sets.
He took a photo while embracing his leading lady and tweeted that he was “honoured” to be working with her:
Deepika will play a feisty huntress named Serena in the upcoming Vin Diesel-starrer.
Her preparation for the role in India impressed Caruso before she landed in LA:
He had even sent a shout-out to Deepika for her Filmfare win:
Deepika also seems to have become fast friends with her other co-star Tony Jaa.
Already on selfie terms with the Thai martial artist, Deepika was spotted pouting away on his Twitter timeline:
Deepika’s lucky to have a team who thinks so highly of her! We’ll see her in the xXx instalment in 2017.
