“First day of filming... Xander and Serena... P.s. 17 million beautiful souls. Thanks for the love,” he captioned the picture, in which he is seen wrapping his tattooed arms around the Bollywood actress.

In the third installment of the film, Diesel is back as Cage who returns to the National Security Agency after an eight-year absence. The film also stars Nina Dobrev, Samuel L Jackson, Ruby Rose, Jet Li, and Tony Jaa. It will release in 2017.
For Deepika, 2015 was an eventful year with three successful films -- Piku, Tamasha and Bajirao Mastani. And it seems that the actress has started 2016 with more power starting with the international project. “In the few two or three interactions that I have had with him (Vin Diesel ), he is just a very warm person. He is very generous among most of my co-stars that I have worked with. I think it will be a fun experience working with him,” Deepika said of her maiden foreign project earlier.
