Vin Diesel is having a gala time in India.

After receiving a grand welcome in Mumbai on Thursday, the Hollywood star sent fans into a tizzy at the premiere of xXx: Return of Xander Cage by grooving to a wildly popular Bollywood song.

And giving him company was his xXx co-star and Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone. The two draped a white cloth waist-down and shook a leg to Lungi Dance, a track from Padukone's 2013 hit film Chennai Express.

The duo also interacted with fans at a special musical event, after which they headed for the star-studded red carpet of the film, Hindustan Times reported.

The popularity of "Lungi Dance" is not new. Hollywood has been fascinated by it before.

In 2014, Academy Award winning-actor Kevin Spacey who was attending the India International Film Academy Awards (IIFA) in Florida, scorched the stage along with show hosts that included Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

Meanwhile, here's the original song.
