Deepika Padukone excited to meet Nina Dobrev

Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, who is busy shooting for her Hollywood debut project "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage" with action star Vin Diesel, says she is looking forward to meet her female co-star Nina Dobrev.

When Dobrev tweeted "Happy to be home.. Looking forward to starting XXX this week", Deepika also responded to it by writing "Can't wait to see you Nina! @ninadobrev @Deejaycar".

Deepika took off to Toronto, Canada, to shoot for the film earlier this month, and has been keeping her fans updated about her Hollywood sojourn through photographs and videos.

In fact, her rumoured boyfriend, actor Ranveer Singh also met her during his short trip to Toronto.

In some of images shared by Diesel, the actor is seen shirtless, showing off his tattoo-covered abs, while Deepika is wearing a bold black leather outfit which not just shows her washboard abs but also some temporary tattoos for a power-packed look.

The new film will follow Diesel's Xander Cage who returns to the National Security Agency after an eight-year absence.

In "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage", Samuel L. Jackson is back as Augustus Gibbons, with Ruby Rose, Jet Li, Conor McGregor and Tony Jaa joining the cast.

D.J. Caruso is taking the director's seat, and F. Scott Frazier has written the script. No official release date is set for the movie yet.
