Deepika Padukone, one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, recently shared insights about her film journey and Hollywood experiences in an interaction with Deadline.
Reflecting on her Hollywood debut in 2017’s ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ alongside Vin Diesel, Deepika Padukone discussed the challenges she faced, saying, “About a decade ago, when I started my journey in the West auditioning, it was a really new process for me because I’d never had to audition. I wasn’t a trained actor, and I never went to a fancy acting school – everything that I’ve learned has been on the job.”
Deepika Padukone, who has signed her second Hollywood film, an untitled cross-cultural rom-com under the banner Ka Productions, spoke about the differences between Hollywood and Bollywood.
She told Deadline, “The systems are so different between Hollywood and Bollywood. I think the world has become smaller, and the world has come together and it’s really about telling great stories. Whether it’s working in Sweden or Bosnia, it’s about telling interesting stories that resonate for an audience across the world.”

She added, “I don’t think we’ve drastically changed anything in India about the way that we work or the kinds of stories that we tell. I think we’ve always had interesting stories to tell, but I do think that what has changed is that the world has opened up to the idea of the East and to India in particular and I think that’s the change – realizing there is a world outside of America.”
In terms of her recent work, Deepika Padukone was last seen in ‘Fighter’ with Hrithik Roshan. She has a packed schedule ahead, with roles in ‘Kalki 2898 – AD’ alongside Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan and in ‘Singham Again’.
