Deepika keen on signing more projects in the West

Deepika Padukone, who is awaiting the release of her controversial film Padmavati, which will now release as Padmavat, seems in no hurry to sign more Bollywood projects as the actress wants to concentrate more on offers coming from Hollywood.

Deepika made her Hollywood debut with Vin Diesel's XXX: Return of Xander Cage, which released earlier last year. Despite creating a lot of pre-release buzz, the film failed to leave a mark at the box office.


“Deepika is in no hurry to sign back-to-back films and she wants to pick her projects carefully. 2017 has been a hectic year for her, so she also wants to have more time to spend with her family. She is also in talks with a few producers for some Hollywood projects,” says a source.

Talking about Deepika Padukone's Hindi projects besides Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavat, the actress has reportedly signed Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming film, which is based on the life of Mumbai's mafia queen, Sapna Didi. It also stars Irrfan Khan.
