New Delhi: Scottish actor Daniel Portman, known for playing Podrick Payne on the hit TV show "Game of Thrones", will attend the upcoming Bangalore Comic Con 2015.

He will talk about his character on "Game of Thrones" and will answer questions from fans about both previous seasons and the forthcoming season, which premieres a week after the event.

Also, he will sign exclusive posters for the fans at the convention. He joined the HBO series in its second season. He plays the loyal squire to Tyrion Lannister.

"We are super excited to have Daniel over at Bangalore! We wanted to give GOT fans in the city something to look forward to, and Daniel's presence is one of the many things we have planned this year," said Jatin Varma, Founder, Comic Con India.

Another attraction at the event will be "The Game of Throne" special Photo-op Booth.
