Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who is currently busy with promotions of her upcoming movie "Bajirao Mastani," posted a picture Friday on her social media accounts of her hugging Hollywood star Vin Diesel.
The picture has sparked rumors that the "Tamasha" actress is set to make her Hollywood debut with Diesel's "XXX: The Return Of Xander Cage," according to Daily Newds & Analysis.

"The night after the success party of 'Tamasha', Deepika flew to America for a meeting with Hollywood star Vin Diesel. No wonder, Ranveer Singh is still promoting his next release alone! But who knew Deepika would suprise everybody with this photograph!" a source told the Deccan Chronicle.
"It is a big achievement for her and she is finishing all formalities in America. She is returning to India tomorrow night," the source added.
Padukone, who earlier missed an opportunity to work with Diesel in "Fast and Furious 7," also recently expressed her desire to work in Hollywood films.
"I am interested in doing Hollywood films. I am ready to explore working in the West. I couldn't do Fast and Furious. I am glad I chose to do Ram Leela promotions. If something interesting comes up I will take up. Here we are subject to shelf life keeps arising and times have changed. There it is not like that," she said in an interaction with media in Mumbai on Nov. 1, according to India Today.
"I was offered my first film way before I actually did my first film in Bollywood. But I waited for the right film and the right time so I wouldn't deny that there hasn't been interest but I think I will do it when I am ready," she had said.
Padukone's recently released film "Tamasha" with former boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor is doing good business across India. The 29-year-old actress, who has worked in hit movies like "Piku" and "Cocktail," will soon be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period romance drama "Bajirao Mastani" with Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra, as HNGN previously reported.
