After Priyanka Chopra and Quantico, it's Neil Nitin Mukesh's turn to go international. The actor has been offered a role on the hit American TV show, Game of Thrones, reportsMumbai Mirror.
Mukesh told the newspaper that it was all thanks to his upcoming release, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Neil plays a royal character in the Sooraj Barjatya film and has many action sequences. Two of the sword-fighting sequences he features in were directed by Greg Powell.
Powell is an action director who has worked on blockbuster movies including the Harry Potter series andAvengers: Age of Ultron. He also happens to be the stunt director forGame of Thrones.
Powell was apparently so impressed with Mukesh's dedication and commitment to the month-long training he had to undergo for the action sequences that he offered him a role in the HBO TV show.
And it's not just a walk-on part. Mukesh told Mumbai Mirror that he will play a royal character and be a part of action scenes. Also, while discussions are yet to formally begin, he has no problems if he has to go nude, the way many actors on the show have done till date. After all, it's a case of been-there-done-that for him. Remember Madhur Bhandarkar'sJail?
