BOLLYWOOD: Bollywood queen Deepika Padukone is headed back to Hollywood after five years.
Deepika, who made her Hollywood debut in xXx: Return of Xander Cage five years ago, will star in a romantic comedy for STXfilms and Temple Hill.
According to Deadline, Deepika will produce this romantic comedy through her Ka Productions banner.
It will be a sweeping cross-cultural story centered on Padukone, says Deadline.
Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture Group, has been quoted as saying, “There is a reason Deepika is one of the biggest global stars to come from India. She is enormously talented with an infectious personality and her profile continues to grow as an international superstar.
“While she has been a phenomenal success in many Eros International films, we are thrilled to be building a romantic comedy with her and our friends at Temple Hill. We believe this project gives us the opportunity to tap into the spirit, voice, characters and vibrant settings of India and New York in ways that made Crazy Rich Asians feel so authentic and fresh.”
In her Hollywood debut, Deepika played the female lead in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, opposite Vin Diesel.
