HBO hits back at Neil Nitin Mukesh for claiming he's got a role in 'Game of Thrones'.

Recently, Neil Nitin Mukesh grabbed headlines after he claimed to have received an offer for a role in the popular TV series Game of Thrones. While Neil claimed that he's received a role in GoT, the channel has hit back at the actor and released a statement denying any such development. 

Neil, in an interview with a leading daily had stated that GoT stunt director Greg Powell, who also choreographed the stunts for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo gave him the offer. But HBO has now revealed that nothing of that sort has happened. Rubbishing any such thing happening, the channel squashed Neil's claims saying that Greg isn't in any position to offer anyone a role. 

After all, Greg isn't the concerned authority who decides on the show's casting. In fact, now that it has been proved that Neil is not a part of the show at all, we wonder whether it was just another publicity gimmick. Your guess is as good as ours.
