Padmaavat (2018) star Deepika Padukone is a force to reckon with in Hindi cinema, but the diva does not want to restrict her stardom just to one film producing market. Of late, she has been trying to broaden her horizons in Hollywood also.
So, after impressing the audience with her mind-blowing action sequences in her Hollywood debut xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017), the third part of the xXx series, Deepika Padukone is now set to headline the fourth instalment of the popular franchise as well.
Yes, DP has been confirmed for xXx 4. And the confirmation comes from none other than DJ Caruso, the director and producer of the franchise. In his latest tweet, Caruso writes that he is keen to finish xXx 4 with a Bollywood song and who better than Padukone for the job.
“I want to end xXx 4 with a Bollywood dance song. Led of course by @deepikapadukone. Lungi Dance? Something new?” writes Caruso in his tweet.
The song featuring Deepika will appear as the credits rolls.
The eight-member K-pop group YOUNITE performed for the first time in India at Delhi's Rang De Korea festival.
Members expressed astonishment at the welcome from Indian fans, describing the trip as feeling "unreal."
Indian cuisine, especially curries and coriander, became an instant favourite for the band.
Rapper Dey specifically named Indian artist Hanumankind as a desired collaborator.
The band's India tour continues with a performance at Mumbai’s K-Harmony Festa.
The energy at Delhi’s Nexus Select City Walk was off the charts and you could feel it buzzing in the air. K-pop group YOUNITE finally hit the stage for their first gig ever in India. And this wasn’t just any show. It was part of the Rang De Korea festival, which signals that the Hallyu wave is truly catching fire here. The crowd went wild. Lights were everywhere. The band looked around and realised that this night was something special; it was not just another pin on their tour map.

What went down for Younite at their India debut?
To put it simply: it was absolute madness, in the best way possible. Steve, the lead singer, couldn’t stop grinning even hours later. He kept saying it all felt dreamlike. He mentioned the crowd’s noise was next-level, unlike anything they had heard before. It wasn’t just about singing and dancing, either.
The guys went full tourist, checking out Humayun’s Tomb and, probably the highlight, getting thoroughly stuck into local street food. If you’ve seen their socials, you know they didn’t hold back. The consensus? The curries were a triumph, with Steve singling out the potent flavour of fresh coriander as a game-changer.
Who does Younite want to collaborate with from India?
This is where things get interesting for music fans. When the topic of potential Indian partnerships came up, rapper Dey didn't hesitate. He immediately named Hanumankind, revealing the track 'Big Dawgs' was already on their playlist. Dey mused that their styles could mesh well, creating something genuinely fresh and fun.
It’s a clear signal that the group is looking beyond a simple performance, actively seeking to build bridges with local artists and sounds. This specific interest in a YOUNITE Hanumankind collaboration has certainly set fan forums alight.
The Delhi gig was only the first chapter. The group is now headed to Mumbai for the inaugural K-Harmony Festa, ensuring their Indian introduction is a two-city affair. They’ve promised to bring the same, if not more, intense energy to that stage. Beyond the immediate tour, their comments suggest a strong desire to return. The warmth from the fans and the vibrant culture seem to have hooked them. Given their clear enjoyment of the food, the history, and the music scene, this YOUNITE India debut likely won't be their last.
