Vin Diesel landed on India with Bollywood queen Deepika Padukone for promoting their Hollywood film 'xXx Return of the Xander Cage'. At the premiere of film, Vin and Deepika spoke about their movie and also about each other.

Also Vin answered when asked about Oscars and why action films are not as popular there. The actor said, "I don't think Oscars have gotten around to processing the fact that performers in action films can give performances. There is a prejudice there. I remember working with a director called Sidney Lumet on a film called Find me Guilty and he talked about that prejudice. He would often say there is a prejudice against beautiful women in Hollywood and that beautiful women would be less likely to get accolades."

Vin added, "The term didn't exist and it was something that came out in the 80s with Arnold and Sly( Sylvester Stallone). So it's a relatively new term. I don't think Oscars have caught up to that yet. So they still maintain a little prejudice. So it's kind of preposterous because what other movie would make you feel like Furious 7 did? However, I don't make my movies for accolades. I make my movies for people. I don't carry an elitist approach to movies. I make my movies for everyone. And I want to offer an escapism to everyone. Not take an elitist approach like the Oscar so often does."
