Months after speculations, it is finally confirmed that Deepika Padukone will star in the fourth instalment of the xXx&nbsp;franchise, alongside Hollywood actor Vin Diesel. Film's director DJ Caruso announced the same on Twitter after welcoming Chinese singer-actor Roy Wang to the xXx family. The director tweeted: "Welcome to the family#RoyWang!" [sic]

When a user asked him if the 'Padmaavat' star will be a part of the film, Caruso replied "Yes!"
Asked if there was any update on Deepika's shooting schedule for the film, Caruso responded to a fan, "Working it out now script being scheduled."
Deepika's foray into Hollywood had created a strong buzz. In fact, last year Diesel had made his maiden visit to India as he came down to Mumbai with Caruso and the Bollywood actress to promote xXx: Return of Xander Cage. He was welcomed with 'desi' fanfare.
The franchise began with the 2002 film xXx, which was followed by the 2005 entertainer xXx: State of the Union. The third xXx movie, featuring Deepika as Serena Unger, had grossed over $300 million worldwide.
