Apart
from
Priyanka
Chopra,
Deepika
Padukone
was
one
of
the
first
mainstream
Bollywood
actors
to
venture
into
Hollywood.
In
2017,
she
starred
in
the
action-thriller
xXx:
Return
Of
Xander
Cage,
alongside
a
star
cast
of
Vin
Diesel,
Donnie
Yen,
Ruby
Rose,
Tony
Jaa,
Nina
Dobrev
and
many
others.
While
many
thought
that
the
film
marked
the
beginning
of
her
career
in
Hollywood,
she
didn't
take
up
any
projects
in
the
West
after
that.
In
an
interview,
Deepika
stated
that
she
is
not
actively
seeking
out
roles
in
Hollywood,
and
that
she
doesn't
distinguish
between
films
as
Indian
or
international.
Speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Deepika
said,
"I
don't
look
or
evaluate
films
as
Indian
or
international,
but
as
a
medium
where
I
can
express
myself.
If
that
opportunity
is
out
of
India,
great.
If
that
is
out
of
the
United
States
or
another
part
of
the
world,
I
am
happy
to
explore
that
too.
For
me,
it's
always
been
content."
She
added,
"I
did
Xander
Cage
because
it
was
an
extremely
powerful,
strong
character
to
play.
Eventually,
it's
about
the
character
and
role,
and
of
course,
the
film.
It's
not
like
I'm
actively
seeking
something
in
Hollywood.
Whether
India
or
any
other
part
in
the
world,
great
content
is
what
I
seek."
Deepika
was
last
seen
in
Meghna
Gulzar's
Chhapaak.
She
won
much
critical
acclaim
for
her
performance
as
Malti,
an
acid
attack
survivor,
whose
character
was
inspired
by
real-life
survivor
Laxmi
Agarwal.
Next,
she
will
share
screen
space
with
her
husband
Ranveer
Singh
in
'83,
a
sports
biopic
film
on
Kapil
Dev
when
he
led
the
Indian
cricket
team
as
captain
during
the
World
Cup
win
of
1983.
'83
is
directed
by
Kabir
Khan
and
is
set
to
hit
screens
on
April
10.
