Vin Diesel shares pic with Deepika Padukone from India trip in 2017

Vin Diesel recently posted a previously unseen photo with his XXX: Return of Xander Cage co-star, Deepika Padukone, from their visit to India to promote their film in 2017. This marked Deepika’s debut in Hollywood, and Ruby Rose also starred in the movie. Vin had previously shared a post about Deepika in 2023, where he called her one of his favorite people to work with.

In his latest post, Vin reminisced about his visit to India and recalled how he had promised Deepika Padukone he would visit the country. The throwback photo shows Vin helping Deepika put on a long coat as they posed next to an autorickshaw. Deepika was dressed in a red printed dress and black heels.

He wrote a long caption along with the photo. Vin started by writing, “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…”

The actor continued to write about his upcoming projects. “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, Riddick 4, and of course, the finale to Fast (Fast and Furious) are all fighting for position. Blessed,” Vin wrote. This post highlights Vin Diesel’s fond memories of working with Deepika and their time together promoting their film in India.

He added, “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?’’
