Vin Diesel shares throwback photo with Deepika Padukone from his 2017 India visit

Vin Diesel took to social media to share a throwback picture with Deepika Padukone from their ‘XXX: Return of Xander Cage’ promotion in India in 2017.

The film marked Deepika's debut in Hollywood and it also featured Ruby Rose in a pivotal role.

In his post, Vin reminisced about his visit to India and his 'promise' to Deepika Padukone. The throwback photo shows him assisting Deepika with a long coat near an autorickshaw; she wore a red printed dress and black heels.

He wrote, ‘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.

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?'

In 2023, Vin Diesel shared an Instagram post featuring himself and Deepika, labeling her one of his 'favourite people to work with'. He added, 'She brought me to India and I loved it… looking forward to my return…’
