If reports are to be believed, Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has bagged himself a role in the highly popular television fantasy series Game of Thrones on HBO, based on the book series by author George R. R Martin.
The Kaththi villain, who will soon be seen in Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming Diwali release Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (PRDP) starring Salman Khan, plays a Royal in the film and hence has a number of sword fighting sequences, for which he was directed by Greg Powell, who is also the action director for Game of Thrones.
“Greg has directed two sword-fighting sequences in PRDP for which I had to train for over a month in order to get the stance and wrist movements right. He seemed pretty impressed with all the hard work I put in and made the offer when we were shooting for the climax scene a few months ago,” the actor was quoted during an interview to a popular national daily.
Although the actor has been over the moon at the casting, also since he is a huge fan of the Tv series, there have been a number of memes and trolling happening on social media once the news was revealed.
