Vin Diesel was welcomed with much fanfare on his first trip to India. He is starring with Deepika Padukone in her debut Hollywood film, ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’. The premiere took place yesterday evening and Diesel was full of compliments for Padukone.

On having an Indian premiere for the film a week before it’s worldwide release, Diesel said, according to Mid-Day, “When we rolled out the film, she came to me with a request. She said, ‘I would love to do a grand premiere in my home country’. We promised to make it here. So, the fact that we are here means that we delivered on our promise. I would really like to thank the entire country. I had yearned to work with Deepika for a long time. I first met her many years ago and always knew that our chemistry was something special”.

When asked if he would be working with Padukone again in the future, Diesel candidly revealed, “If in May we are filming for XXX again, it would be evident how much I like working with her. She is very special to me and you can see that from my social media posts in the past year. You get to claim her because this is her origin [country], but she is the queen of the world”.

Padukone also added this this film was something that was a result of a few failed attempts, “We were supposed to collaborate earlier, but for various reasons, it didn’t work out. I know for a fact that he will have my back, professionally as well as personally”.
