Putting rumours to rest, D J Caruso, the director of xXx: Return Of Xander Cage, confirmed on Monday that Deepika Padukone will be part of the franchise's next install ment as well. In his latest tweets, Caruso shared that all the three actresses of the last installment - Deepika, Ruby Rose and Nina Dobrev - will return for the fourth part of the xXx series.

During their visit to Mumbai in January, the Hollywood filmmaker and the film's hero, Vin Diesel, had hinted another outing of their franchise. Incidentally, it was Ruby's Instagram post a few days ago that triggered the guessing game all over again. She shared online, “...I can't forget my training for Adele in xXx... but... more new exciting news on that soon (sic).“

Referring to her post, when fans asked Caruso about the sequel, he confirmed, “Yes meetings next week. Honing in on story and start dates (sic).“ Soon, there were queries about Deepika returning as Serena Unger in the sequel of her Hollywood debut, to which the director replied, “Oh yes.“ About the other cast members, he added, “All coming back.
