Deepika Padukone auditions for Tom Cruise's The Mummy

Mumbai: Deepika Padukone, who is busy shooting for her Hollywood debut ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ opposite Vin Diesel, has been auditioning for few other roles while being away from home.

According to a report in SpotboyE, the actress has auditioned for a pivotal role – that of an Egyptian girl – in Tom Cruise’s 'The Mummy'. The audition took place last month in Los Angeles.

A source close to the project said, “They are looking at other options. Even if Deepika doesn’t make the cut, the very fact that she was in the running for an important role in a Tom Cruise starrer is quite a high in itself.”

Sadly, Deepika couldn't make the cut and failed the test.

Meanwhile, famous Hollywood makeup artist Hung Vanngo posted a video of her on his Instagram with the caption, "Looking flawless like this at 6AM should be illegal @deepikapadukone #DeepikaPadukone #BollywoodActress #HungVanngo #makeup"
