Hollywood actor Vin Diesel recently shared a throwback photo on his official Instagram page, featuring Deepika Padukone and director DJ Caruso, which dates back to their visit to India in 2017 to promote their film 'XXX: Return of Xander Cage'. Alongside the shared photo he discussed a story about a brother and sister that director DJ Caruso had sent him. He also mentioned his eldest daughter's emotional reaction to reading Caruso's new script, revealing that she was brought to tears.

Dropping the photo, he wrote "When I think about the amount of directors that have wanted to work with me more than once I am always just humbled. This is a pic of when I went to India as I promised Deepika I would, with the director at the time, DJ Caruso… While we are currently juggling the order of the productions, my oldest daughter read the script that DJ sent to me, thinking that it would fall into the Pacifier bracket. She cried… I asked her why she cried, and she said because the story of a brother and sister rang true for her and it was emotional."

"Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em, Mattel’s Follow up to Barbie… Universal’s Kojak, Witch Hunter, Riddick4 and of course the finale to Fast are all fighting for position. Blessed. If I could make the film work that my daughter cried reading, my question for you would be, who would play my sister… she suggested Jennifer Lawrence. What do you think?" Vin Diesel concluded.
