In 2018, when Deepika was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People, Vin Diesel penned a heartfelt message dedicated to her. “When Deepika Padukone came in to read for one of the Fast and the Furious films, I knew instantly I was in the presence of someone very special. As soon as she entered the room, there was a synchronicity, a synergy, a chemistry—it promised great things to come. Her schedule didn’t work for that movie, but I never gave up. She was the first role we cast in 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage'. She said, ‘I want to do this movie, but if I do, you have to come to India.’ Thank God I made that deal," he wrote.
