Hollywood action star Vin Diesel took to social media to share pictures of him and Deepika Padukone taken on the sets of XXX: Return of Xander Cage. Looking every inch of perfection with the arms wrapped around the Bollywood reigning star, Diesel, 48, posted the first look online, thereby furthering the anticipation of fans awaiting the movie by folds.
“First day of filming… Xander and Serena… P.s. 17 million beautiful souls. Thanks for the love,” he captioned the picture on instagram.
He also posted another picture of them together on Facebook.
Earlier, the actress, too, shared video of her rigorous workout required to prepare for the role on her official social media account.
The movie, which is set to release in 2017, would mark Padukone’s first foray into Hollywood as a leading lady opposite Fast and Furious actor, Vin Diesel.
The action movie is third in the series, chronicling the life of Diesel’s Xander Cage who returns to the National Security Agency after an eight-year absence. Although much is kept under wraps of Padukone’s character, news of her essaying the role of Serena, an huntress is making waves.
Directed by DJ Caruso, the much awaited film will see the actress sharing screen space with the likes of Nina Dobrev, Samuel L Jackson, Ruby Rose, Jet Li, and Tony Jaa.
