: Deepika Padukone rose to international fame when she got cast as one of the female leads in Vin Diesel’s 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage'. Once the first theatrical trailer released, no one could help but notice her delightfully Indian accent in the trailer.

While everyone believed she’ll be maintaining the accent throughout her international projects in the future and that it’s homage of sorts to her ethnicity, Deepika begs to differ.

Deepika, had apparently been drawn to the role because the role was that of an Indian, which didn’t need her to fake an accent. But she told DNA that if in the future, she’s required to play an Indo-American in a film, she won’t hesitate to do it.

Priyanka Chopra, widely considered her direct competitor, has often come in for a lot of flak for her American accent in her TV show, ‘Quantico,’ despite playing an American native in it. However, Deepika, who’s currently working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus ‘Padmavati,’ alongside Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, stuck to her Indian accent to great effect.

It remains to be seen how her role pans out in the film, and for that, we must await the release of the highly anticipated film.
