The actor who is already earning rave reviews for his portrayal as a Royal Prince in the promos of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has apparently impressed the Hollywood action director Greg Powell, who in turn has offered Neil a role in the super-hit American television show Game Of Thrones.
The acclaimed stunt director has a wide array of high profile films to his credit including the Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Fast And Furious 6, the Harry Potter series and of course Game Of Thrones.
Having worked with Neil in PRDP, the director is said to be very impressed with actor’s hard work and has hence offered him the role. Confirming the news with a tabloid, the elated actor said, “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.”
Neil also added that a person from the production team is expected to fly down by the month end for further discussions.
Talking about his role in the famous TV series, Neil, who himself is a big fan of the show said that he will play a royal character and feature in many combat scenes.
The actor also added that should the role demand him to strip, the actor will have no qualms about going nude or doing sex scenes as he has already done that before in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Jail. Ahem! Given the fact that sex, nudity and violence go hand in hand in Game Of Thrones, we say good decision Neil!
As for the fans of GOT, well, gear up people! The winter is coming! And so is Neil!
