Season 6 of Game of Thrones is still in production and according to recent updates, Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh has become the first Indian actor to be cast in the epic fantasy drama series.

The 33-year-old has appeared in many Bollywood films and has reportedly impressed the stunt director of Game of Thrones series, Greg Powell, with his performance in the upcoming family drama film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo starring Salman Khan in the lead role.

According to Mumbai Mirror, Powell, who is famous for his earlier works in Harry Potter franchise, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Fast and Fast Furious 6, has offered an important part to Mukesh.

"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," Mukesh said to the Mumbai Mirror. 

Mukesh also confirmed that the producers of Game of Thrones are going to approach him in November only regarding his role in the upcoming season. When asked in the interview of the nudity the series has, Mukesh also said that he has no problem in going all nude for the show.

"I have gone nude for Jail so why not for this? I am not intimidated by it as an actor."

 At the very same time, Indian fans of Game of Thrones used Twitter to tell the world how proud they are feeling for the recent casting.
