At the time when we speak about box-office numbers of any super hit Bollywood film between 100-200Cr, the Indian superstar actress Deepika Padukone has stunned everyone with a 1000 Crore (USD155 million) movie. She has apparently struck gold at box-office with a glittering Hollywood debut alongside Vin Diesel.
As Deepika’s first English film ‘XXX: Return of Xander Cage’, which was made on a budget of $85 million, has joined the 1000 Crore club by earning outstanding money from all over the globe. While the India domestic has fetch 53 crores at box-office, the film is yet to have its release in China which is said to be its biggest potential market. With a view to make it big in Hollywood, Deepika hadn’t signed in a film, except Padmavati, since 2015’s historical romance Bajirao Mastani, and with XXX success, one would expect more Hollywood studios would tend to eagerly work with her soon.
Emerging out as India’s top-paid actress, Deepika has been part of many successful Bollywood projects in the past and her biggest hits include Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Bajirao Mastani. Since no other Indian actor, as a main lead in a Hollywood film, experienced a sensational 1000 Crore film at box-office, it is definitely a great accomplishment by Deepika, who entered the industry with a Kannada film Aishwarya.
Now that Deepika has made a massive Hollywood debut, India is now looking forward to see if the other happening lady Priyanka Chopra can overshadow these numbers with her debut Baywatch, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Alexandra Daddaria.
