Deepika is presently waiting for the release for her Bollywood film 'Padmavat' (earlier Padmavati) which is marred in controversy over director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's alleged misrepresentation of history.

The film is expected to release on Jan 25.

The 32-year old actor, who took part in huge number of Bollywood films, made her international debut with 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' opposite Vin Diesel in 2017.
