After Kalki Exit, Deepika Padukone Ready for Hollywood Comeback with Vin Diesel?

Deepika Padukone is preparing for a major return to the entertainment industry. The actress and Vin Diesel are reportedly set to co-star in the next movie, XXX. The announcement coincided with her unexpected departure from Kalki 2, which caused fans and industry insiders to go crazy. Vin, who played Xander Cage in the well-known action series, recently posted an enigmatic comment on Instagram.

Earlier this week, Vin Diesel took to his social media and shared, “So much to share… iconic stories that all resonate with something deep inside. A global audience who has literally been the blessing of this artist’s life. Groot’s return in the Arbor King, that infamous New York Detective, Kaulder’s Oath, Xander’s next adventure in Mumbai, Street racers reunited in LA, and of course, the Furyan… Grateful for you all… Hope to make you proud…”

Deepika Padukone is Back with a Bang:

The rumour that Deepika would play Serena Unger again in the sequel, which is purportedly set in Mumbai, has been fueled by that post and rumours from trade insiders. Fans of the Hollywood movie XXX Return of Xander Cage remember Vin and Deepika's smouldering on-screen chemistry. The couple may make a comeback to the public eye if the rumours are accurate.

The controversy surrounding Deepika Padukone's exit from Kalki 2 corresponds with her ascent to Hollywood fame. Industry reports state that the actress requested a 25% pay raise, a seven-hour workweek, and five-star lodgings for her entourage of 25 people. 

Producers reportedly found her demands surprising and found it difficult to agree. Additionally, a Telugu news source claims that she asked for twice as much money as she was paid for the first Kalki film. The producers, who were already managing a massive budget, were reportedly shocked. Both parties eventually parted ways.
