HBO confirms Neil Nitin Mukesh will not play 'Game of Thrones'!Nov 7(AZINS) All spotlights were trained on Neil Nitin Mukesh when the reports of him being cast for HBO's hit Game of Thrones surfaced.

Earlier a leading tabloid had quoted the Prem Ratan Dhan Payo star as saying, "During the action sequence of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, global stunt director Greg Powell mentioned that I would be an ideal candidate for the Game of Thrones series. It just started off as a random conversation on sets and now my global agency is figuring things out."

Later, he told  dna, "Nothing is confirmed so far. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed. Though Game of Thrones is one of my favourite series."

But the most reliable fan community of the show 'Watchers on the Wall' got a confirmation from HBO that Neil will not be a part of season 6 of Game of Thrones. They also said that the actor had not been offered the part in the first place!

According to Watchers on the Wall, the cast for season 6 is already overflowing and HBO is unlikely to cast when the shooting has already progressed a lot.
