Deepika Padukone received a lot of appreciation for maintaining her Indian accent in the trailers for her upcoming Hollywood film ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’. The actress was praised for staying true to her roots. However she has signalled she will be more than willing to change her accent if the character requires it.

Speaking to DNA, Padukone said “I wanted to play an Indian girl in the movie… That’s one of the things that drew me to the part. My roots are Indian in xXx3 and there is no reason why I should speak with an American accent. But it also depends on the role that I do. You can’t generalise. The role required me to speak like an Indian girl which I did. Tomorrow, I may do a film which may require me to play an Indian-American, so there, an accent may be required.”

‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ is slated for release in January.
