According to Mumbai Mirror ( an Indian newspaper), the role has been offered to the Bollywood actor by Greg Powell, who's worked on big Hollywood projects like Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Fast And Furious 6 and the Harry Potter series, and currently the stunt director of "Game of Thrones". "Greg has directed two sword-fighting sequences in Prem Ratan for which I had to train for over a month in order to get the stance and wrist movements right", the actor told the sources of Mumbai Mirror.
"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 Bollywood actor also revealed that someone from the "Game of Thrones" production team is expected to come down by the month-end for further discussions to the sources of Mumbai Mirror.
