Curoso shared on Twitter with fans that the "Bajirao Mastani" star would begin shooting for the movie next month.
When asked about the film, Ranveer told reporters, "I don't think anything has been confirmed. Deepika hasn't confirmed yet so let's wait for it and not jump the gun."
Ranveer said even though the director confirmed about the film, it is better if Deepika comes out and says it.
Deepika triggered rumours of starring opposite Hollywood star Diesel when she shared a picture of herself with him.
The 29-year-old actress' "Piku" co-star Irrfan Khan first confirmed about the project, which would marks her big Hollywood leap.
"XXX: The Return of Cage" is the third instalment of the popular "XXX" franchise.
