It's not about size of role in Hollywood, but experience: Deepika
From Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Nimrat Kaur to Irrfan Khan, Bollywood stars are making a splash in the West. But they are often criticised for their blink-and-miss appearances.
From Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Nimrat Kaur to Irrfan Khan, Bollywood stars are making a splash in the West. But they are often criticised for their blink-and-miss appearances. Actress Deepika Padukone, who is making her Hollywood debut with ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’, says it is not about the size of the role, but the experience that makes it worthwhile.
“You have to look at everything that you get as an opportunity. There is no role too small or too big. I think it's what you make of that opportunity. Sometimes the smallest part teaches you a lot. Not judging from what anyone has done in the past, I do feel lucky that I got the opportunity with 'xXx...'," Deepika said in Madrid on the sidelines of the ongoing International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) celebrations.
Talking specifically about ‘xXx’, she said, “It is not about the size of the role but the experience. It was fun." Deepika will be seen as Serena in the film. ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’, a sequel to the 2002 film ‘xXx’ and 2005 film ‘xXx: State of the Union’, also stars Vin Diesel, Samuel L Jackson, Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa. The film is slated to release on January 20, 2017. Commenting on her journey from Bollywood to Hollywood, the actress said, “I think it kind of fell in place... Sometimes certain things happen when they are supposed to. It (the Hollywood film) has been like any other films. I was offered the film and I loved the part.”
