New Delhi: Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh who will be soon seen as superstar Salman Khan's younger step-brother in ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' has reportedly bagged a role in HBO's fantasy series ‘Game of Thrones'. Based on a book written by George R.R. Martin, Game Of Thrones aired its fifth season this summer.
GOT, has a huge fan following around the globe. Obviously, getting to be a part of this project will help his career shine, something he was unable to do in India. Neil met GOT's action director Greg Powell on the sets of PRDP and he seemed impressed by his skills.
Speaking to a leading daily, he revealed, “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 role which Neil will play in GOT will be very similar to the one he plays in PRDP. “I play a royal in both and also feature in combat scenes. Greg is extremely humble and professional. I feel honoured that I got to work with him,” he added.
Apart from violence, Game of Thrones doesn't lack nudity. To this the actor said, "I have gone nude for Jail, so why not for this? I am okay with it if it's required for my character. I am not intimidated by it as an actor”.
This is an interesting turn in his career. We can't wait to see if Neil ends up signing on the dotted line soon.
