Deepika's co-star Vin Diesel recites the Bhagavad Gita in Ang Lee's war film

Deepika Padukone certainly seems to have made an impression on her XXX co-star, Vin Diesel. Diesel, we hear, is now deeply into not just Bollywood, but also India and spirituality. He even recorded a Diwali greeting message in Hindi along with Deepika, for his Indian fans.

Deepika has now convinced her superstar-co-star to visit India during the Indian premiere of XXX: The Return Of Xander Cage, in January 2017. In fact, the corporate production house that has produced the film, has planned an enormous welcome for Vin Diesel.

“Deepika will be Vin Diesel’s unofficial host during his Indian visit, just like Anil Kapoor hosted Tom Cruise when the latter came to India for his film Mission Impossible,” informs a source.

Diesel surely seems to be enamoured with all things Indian. What’s more? In his new release, Ang Lee’s war film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, he is even heard quoting the Bhagavad Gita.

“Deepika and Diesel would spend a lot of time discussing India, Bollywood and Hindu mysticism. It is no coincidence that he quotes the Bhagavad Gita in Ang Lee’s new film. Deepika is positively playing the part of India’s goodwill ambassador in Hollywood,” admits a source.
