New Delhi:
There's no dancing in
xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage but there's been plenty of it in the promotions of the film. Actress
Deepika Padukone's presence in Vin Diesel's new Hollywood outing led to some smooth moves on a red carpet and now on American late night TV. Deepika and Vin went on
The Late Late Show With James Corden last night and it was an extremely Bollywood appearance - make that xXxtremely. Show me how to do The
Lungi Dance, their host demanded. Deepika was only too glad to.
Lungis were improvised out of jackets (James borrowed one) and, watched by a grinning Vin Diesel, Deepika Padukone taught James Corden the routine that she and Shah Rukh Khan made such a hit in
Chennai Express.
How did James Corden do? Apart from the fact that he was dwarfed by a seemingly nine-foot-tall Deepika, we think he did very well. 10 on 10.

xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage in Mumbai last Friday. Xander Cage in a

xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage is Deepika's Hollywood debut. The 31-year-old actress plays a special agent named Serena Unger opposite Vin Diesel, 49, and the rest of the
xXx unit. The film released in India last week and is out everywhere else today. Deepika also promoted the film solo on
The Ellen Show the night before and made a blushing confession about how
she and Vin "have amazing babies" (but only in her head).

Padmavati after finishing up
xXx 3 duties. She will play the title role in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama, opposite actors Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.
