DEEPIKA’S SECOND HOLLYWOOD OUTING IS A ROM-COM

NEW DELHI: Deepika Padukone has signed her second Hollywood project, a romantic comedy film that she will be co-producing. STXfilms announced that the company is developing a romantic comedy for Deepika. The announcement was made by Adam Fogelson, chairman, STXfilms Motion Picture Group. “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, who share Ka’s ambition and creative vision and look forward to bringing impactful and dynamic cross-cultural stories to the world,” said Deepika. She made her Hollywood debut with XXX: The Return of Xander Cage.

Adam 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.”
