Deepika Padukone opens up about challenges in Hollywood

Deepika Padukone is preparing herself for the release of her debut Hollywood film ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ but the actress has spoken out about the hardship working in the Hollywood industry.

According to Hindustan Times, Padukone said, ���The world is waking up to new talent. Having said that, it is all about whether an actor suits a role or not. An actor should be cast in a movie only if his or her talent brings something unique to the table. I don�۪t think an actor�۪s religion, gender, or the region he or she belongs to, should be the reason to sign him or her for a film.�۝

Padukone initially said she was apprehensive about taking on the role of Serena Unger in the film. She added, ���Initially, I didn�۪t feel like I was ready to take up an international project. I was offered films in the past too, but they just didn�۪t feel right. I have always followed my heart and my instinct. It is up to you to say yes or no to a role that doesn�۪t excite you. The films I was offered earlier didn�۪t excite me.�۝

‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ releases in January 2017.
