The actor, most known for his role as the loyal knight Ser Jorah Mormont in the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones," will be playing the role of Michael Simmons, according to actor-turned-director Anupam. This casting marks Glen's exciting entry into the vibrant world of Bollywood cinema, bringing his talents from Westeros to the Bollywood film industry.

"I acted with Iain Glen (Game Of Thrones) in a #BBC three-part series ["Mrs Wilson"]. We became friends after the shoot. So when I was casting for Michael Simmons's character in #TanviTheGreat, I sent the script to Iain, and he immediately agreed to play one of the most important characters in our film," Anupam posted.
