Working in Hollywood hasn't been easy. Deepika Padukone

Tuesday, 16 August 2016 12:10

Deepika Padukone is currently gearing up for the release of her Hollywood debut xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. #SunriseRadio

According to a report, Deepika was recently quoted saying, “The world is waking up to new talent. Having said that, it is all about whether an actor suits a role or not. An actor should be cast in a movie only if his or her talent brings something unique to the table. I don’t think an actor’s religion, gender, or the region he or she belongs to, should be the reason to sign him or her for a film.”

Deepika further added that working in Hollywood ''hasn’t been easy’’. She said, “Initially, I didn’t feel like I was ready to take up an international project. I was offered films in the past too, but they just didn’t feel right. I have always followed my heart and my instinct.

“It is up to you to say yes or no to a role that doesn’t excite you. The films I was offered earlier didn’t excite me.”
