Hollywood star Vin Diesel and Deepika Padukone shook a leg on the actress’ hit track Lungi Dance at the premiere of their film xXx: Return of Xander Cage here last night.
The duo interacted with fans at a special musical event, which saw performance from DJ Nucleya. Deepika, who wrapped a lungi over her golden Naeem Khan gown, taught the Hollywood star a few steps of her hit track.
After the packed-musical evening, the duo headed straight to the red carpet of their film xXx: Return of Xander Cage.
The American action-adventure film had its Indian premiere here, a week before its scheduled release in the US.
On the red carpet, the duo interacted with the waiting fans, who turned up in large numbers.
Vin was seen clicking selfies with his fans as he walked the red carpet.
The actor said he was thrilled to be in India and was honoured that the film premiered here first.
The evening saw many Bollywood celebrities attend the premiere of the film.
Among those present were Deepika’s rumoured boyfriend Ranveer Singh, her “Padmavati” co-star Shahid Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi, Karan Johar, Huma Qureshi, Richa Chadha, Kalki Koechlin among others.
The movie, directed by DJ Caruso, is the third film in xXx franchise and a sequel to both xXx (2002) and xXx: State of the Union (2005).
Vin Diesel and Deepika Padukone landed in India yesterday morning and witnessed a grand traditional welcome at Kalina airport in Mumbai to promote their film xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
Women clad in sarees wearing turbans greeted the two with a tilak.
In fact, there were women bikers on Bullets wearing nauvari sarees to welcome the two.
Reportedly, the actor is likely to stay in India for a couple of days and has a packed schedule with press conferences, fan meets and the grand premiere of the film.
However, ever since Diesel has landed, Twitter has erupted with jokes on petrol and generally how Indians would react to him. Some of them are really mean! And as you may know of the actor’s clean head, Twitterati couldn’t stop talking about it. “The lead role for the movie “Gandhi” originally was offered to #VinDiesel” wrote a user.
