XXX franchise, XXX3: Xander Cage Returns that began shooting earlier this year is picking up steam. After news of Deepika Padukone being cast in the film, we have seen numerous images of the cast and crew that surfaced on social networking platforms.

A still from The Return of Xander Cage! #ToniCollette #TonyGonzalez #NinaDobrev #RubyRose #DeepikaPadukone". Later reacting to Diesel posting the image, the film's director D.J Caruso tweeted saying, "Ok so a sneak look snuck out while I slept. ..#xxx3 #xandercagereturns".

XXX: Xander Cage Returns which marks the return of Diesel as the main character of Xander Cage features Deepika Padukone apparently playing a huntress and Diesel's ex-lover. Said to be an action film with tons of stunts that take long board to the next level, the film is set for release toward the end of 2016 or early 2017.
