Actress Deepika Padukone is known for her film choices and impressive performances. Now, she has finally bagged her second Hollywood film. 

According to recent reports, Deepika will star in an upcoming cross-cultural romantic comedy, which will be developed by STXfilms. The studio's chairman, Adam Fogelson, announced the film today (August 31).

Deepika will also don the producer’s role in the film through her banner - Ka Productions. 

For the unversed, the 35-year-old actress made her Hollywood debut with ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ (2017) co-starring Vin Diesel. Deepika made her debut as a producer with her 2020 film Chhapaak. 

Meanwhile, STXfilms is also in negotiations with Temple Hill Productions Wyck Godfrey and producer Marty Bowen, known for films such as The Twilight franchise, The Fault in Our Stars, Love Simon, to develop the project.

Fogelson reflected upon the upcoming project and said, "There is a reason Deepika is one of the biggest global stars to come from India. She is enormously talented with an infectious personality and her profile continues to grow as an international superstar. While she has been a phenomenal success in many Eros International films, we are thrilled to be building a romantic comedy with her and our friends at Temple Hill. We believe this project gives us the opportunity to tap into the spirit, voice, characters and vibrant settings of India and New York in ways that made Crazy Rich Asians feel so authentic and fresh,” as quoted by India Today.

On the other hand, Deepika spoke about her new project and said, "Ka Productions was founded with the aim to develop and produce purposeful content with global appeal. I’m thrilled to be partnering with STXfilms and Temple Hill Productions, which share Ka’s ambition and creative vision and look forward to bringing impactful and dynamic cross-cultural stories to the world."

Interestingly, Deepika hinted at preparing to shoot a ‘little surprise’ for everyone, earlier this month. The actress seemed just too excited to spill the details about the surprise, but refrained from disclosing any more details.

We wonder if this was the surprise Deepika Padukone was planning all along.

On the work front, Deepika has quite a few interesting projects in the pipeline and she will be seen in 83, opposite her husband Ranveer Singh. She has Fighter with Hrithik Roshan and Shakun Batra's yet-to-be-titled film with Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi. 

Previously, she had also announced the Indian adaptation of the international film The Intern under her banner and she will be seen starring in the film alongside Amitabh Bachchan.
