With her debut Hollywood film xXx: The Return of Xander Cage up for release, Deepika Padukone headed back to Los Angeles on Sunday night, shortly after returning from Dubai, where she brought in the New Year with friends.
The next stop for her will be Mexico, where the actress will be present for the first round of promotions of her movie with Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel.
Before boarding the flight, when asked about her state of mind, she excitedly said, " This is my Hollywood debut. I am very nervous. Today is the beginning of that journey. Hopefully we will be coming to India soon. I feel proud that I get to represent my country especially in this kind of an action franchise film. I am sure people will enjoy the movie. There is lot of action, adventure, which we have not seen in Indian films before."
The movie that releases on January 14 will see her play the role of huntress Serena Unger. The 30-year-old also said that she is glad the film releases in her home country before the rest of the world, thereby, making India a big plan of the project.
"In terms of promotions, we will first go to Mexico. But as far as the release is concerned, we will release first in India. I suggested this to the team when were shooting and I am happy it has happened finally. This is a huge international franchise and it's great India is such a big part of the plan."
Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra, who is also making her Hollywood debut with Baywatch, returned to the US on Sunday night. She was in Goa for the New Year festivities with family.
