Games of Thrones: This ‘unsuccessful’ Bollywood actor successfully bags role in the mega-series

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Salman Khan’s upcoming movie about family and relationships, is yet to hit the screens, but because of the magnificence of the movie, the history of the production house, and the abundant star cast, the movie has already begun to create some ripples in the market.

The movie has also proved lucky for Neil Nitin Mukesh, who plays the role of Niranjan, Salman’s younger brother in the movie. Coming from a royal family, Nirajan had to be shown as an expert in sword fighting, and Hollywood action director George Powell directed the action sequences. Powell, who is known for his work in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Fast and Furious 6, and the Harry Potter series is also the action director of the Emmy-winning hit series, Game of Thrones.

Reportedly, Neil’s dedication and hard work impressed Powell and he decided to offer him a role in the prestigious television series, which the actor gladly accepted.
His character in the show would also be from a royal family, just like his character from the movie. After Priyanka Chopra bagging the lead role in Quantico and Neil Nitin Mukesh being offered a role in GoT, it looks like India is really on the mind of international production houses.

As reported by Mumbai Mirror.
