well why not, if deepika has opportunity to expand her ambitions and take on a hollywood film then i see nothing wrong with that

Deepika will get international exposure, she'll get to meet mor directors and producers wen she is in the usa, that may open doors to mor projects, its an opportunity of a lifetime for her

I think she wanted to try an action movie and if you have the chance to star in an action movie in HW than why not? Its better to try that genre there instead in BW which miserably fails in that department. And it doesnt matter if the next xXx will underperform or not but being in the movie and her being a beauty who can also act this movie will open her other doors. But i guess she wants to experience it since she got the chance to star in it. I would also prefer vin diesel over Salman or Hrithitk movies which are similar in the kind of roles but the performance oriented movies she will definetely continue doing it in BW.

I don't know. I get that she is good at what she has been given to do so far. But look at the diversity of acting other actresses like say Priyanka, Kangana, Vidya etc have done. If directors are still banking on these ladies to do different sort of films ten has she really explored all her venues?

She is top actress right now, but she has not explored all sorts of various roles and acted in different sort of movies.

Why not?

If she fails to grab eyeballs she can always come back like Ash did. Does xXx offer substantial role for woman? I ain't a fan of action films so have no idea!

I actually think PC made more intelligent choice! She's become a common name in that industry because of Quantico and people have a clear cut idea about her acting skills.

deepika is not quitting BW nor she is leaving the earth

she is still very much in hindi films

the shooting will be done within some months

it'll give her more recognition and help her further..

her dream is to have a long career in hindi films..

she'll not give that up anytime soon...

she is doing exceedingly well here

its a smart way to expand her territories & brand value

it'l also give her more recognition internationally

deepika does two major global ads tissot & vogue eyewear

she is the global ambassador plus with an international project,

the endorsement market of hers will also expand.

PC is doing a television show and multiple stuff there

even with all that she finished doing 2 movies in a year

DP will not be asked to devote that much time for a film

she can very comfortably squeeze 2 hindi films a year.

its not a bad move but the fact that she doesnt have good projects in Bollywood for 2016/2017 is what is going to backfire on her. She shouldn't solely focus on it

Priyanka is also making that mistake, the opportunities that are made for them WILL go to other actresses!

Aishwarya was bit smarter that way, although she didnt really have any major work - she made sure she was still doing concrete work in India at the same time; perhaps that prevented her from doing more, not sure!

But in any case, I think its bad to slowdown or even shift when you are the peak of your career. Deepika has been on a roll since 2013, and I think she should continue that momentum!

Well Vin Diesel isn't really a small fry in Hollywood .. he is quite big a star .. xXx was awesome and did pretty well .. xXx3 would probably be taken as a sequel of xXx and not xXx2 (which didn't do well at BO). Vin Diesel has a strong fan following amongst the action/thriller audience. I am one of his huge fans. So, xXx is as safe a bet for DP as any other Hollywood project. A film can fail irrespective of a better star cast, at least this one has a good chance of taking a good opening. It will at least make Hollywood take note of her .. this is all you can do as a debutant. After that it's another set of steps to maintain yourself in HW, that DP should worry about later.

As for Bollywood, yeah .. if she doesn't does any good films now and if by any chance xXx flops too then when she comes back to BW, not sure if she would still have the same chances available. Alia, Shraddha, Kriti etc. are taking over all the young roles. Look at Katrina -- she was the most popular one and then a few years with not that many films, she has already been replaced by DP. The same can happen to DP as well .. so I think it is a bad bad idea to not sign any BW film altogether and not have any releases in 2016/2017 unless she has few more HW films already in the pipeline.

Also, from what I've heard in DP's interviews, she has always mentioned that she wants to be married with kids while still working. Considering that she is turning 30 soon, maybe she plans to get married to Ranveer and hence, may plan to tone down on work. But then that is just my guess .. not sure if she is still interested in her marriage plans. Things might have changed in her head now that she has grown smarter.
