It looks like Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who is making her Hollywood debut with "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage", is finding it hard to make her co-star, British Mixed Martial Artist Michael Bisping spell her name correctly.

Deepika took to Twitter on Saturday to share a video in which Bisping can be seen struggling to pronounce the "Bajirao Mastani" actress' name.

In the 14-second video, Deepika is asking Bisping to spell her name. Bisping replied: "I'm looking for Deepika 'Tapukone'."

Directed by D.J. Caruso, "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage" also stars Vin Diesel, Samuel L. Jackson, Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa.

It is a sequel to the 2002 film "xXx" and 2005 film "xXx: State of the Union".

The film is slated to release on January 20, 2017.
