The real reason Deepika Padukone turned down Fast & Furious 7, Vin Diesel brought her back for xXx instead
Hindustan TimesActor Deepika Padukone made her Hollywood debut with the 2017 action film xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and is expected to return for its sequel. Deepika’s spokesperson had told PTI in 2013, “Deepika was offered to be a part of the next Fast And Furious movie. Unfortunately, the movie goes on the floors immediately, and that left too short a time for her to shift her existing date commitments to the producers of Ram Leela, Happy New Year and Finding Fanny Fernandes.” Deepika added, “I think a lot has been said. I loved every single moment spent with her.” Deepika told The Quint, “I had actually auditioned for Furious 7, and they really liked me and wanted me to be a part of the film but then Ram Leela happened over here and I didn’t have the dates for Furious 7.
