The first official trailer of XXX: Return of Xander Cage released this weekend and many Deepika Padukone fans were disappointed as they missed her in a blink. They had to watch the trailer several times to actually detect her presence. This sparked off a lot of speculation on Deepika’s choice of Hollywood debut and whether she compromised her A-list position in India to feature in a big budget Hollywood production. The past one year has been exceptionally strong for Deepika, with her films Piku, Tamasha and Bajirao Mastani being box office hits as well as garnering critical acclaim for her as a diverse actress. Was it fair of her to reduce her position as a top actress for a role that only objectified her?
Fans have nothing to worry about; she reassured them in response to their social media queries. “There are more than six months to go. Be patient, just wait and watch. Every few days, we will be putting up a new campaign. It is also the return of the film after many years, return of Xander Cage (Diesel), and that is what it is. But slowly and slowly, more will be unveiled,” Deepika said.
XXX: Return of Xander Cage is due for a January 10, 2017 release and rumours even suggest she will be playing a negative role. We just have to wait and see!
