Deepika Padukone sees Hollywood as “extension” to career

Deepika Padukone’s next big screen adventure will mark her Hollywood debut. ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ will release in 2017 and there’s been some talk about her signing a film back in Bollywood too. The actress, however, says that she doesn’t like the division that many feel this represents in her career.

“If I am offered an interesting script for a South Indian film, I would definitely consider taking it up. For me, language is only a medium to give shape to great content,” said Padukone, as quoted by Filmfare.

She added, “Honestly, I don�۪t like dividing my projects into Hollywood or Bollywood – as an actor, the kind of effort and hard work that I put into any film is exactly the same, and the only difference is the language. So, I don�۪t look at it as two separate journeys. I look at it as an extension of my career”.

Padukone’s last Bollywood film was ‘Bajirao Mastani’ (2015) for which she’s bagged many awards.
