Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is all set to make her Hollywood debut starring opposite Hollywood's Vin Diesel in the sequel of 2002 action movie "xXx." The starlet is reportedly going to fly to Hollywood and start filming for her role in the highly anticipated "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage" on Feb. 2.
According to Bollywood Life, a leading tabloid broke the big news. Meanwhile, Padukone's fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala has reportedly confirmed the news and revealed to the tabloid that the actress will be leaving India on the said date and will be filming in various foreign locations.
"She leaves for the shoot on February 2 and most of her portions will be filmed in Toronto and Los Angeles," Yasmin said as quoted by the abovementioned publication. It is reported that Yasmin, who is currently training Padukone for her upcoming project, wishes she got more time to prepare the actress.
Recently, the celebrity trainer, who has trained Katrina Kaif in the past, shared a video of Padukone doing chin ups showing off her well-toned back and shoulders. The video gained a lot of attention of fans and media outlets. The actress can be seen wearing sweatpants and a sleeveless crop top during her training session.
