New Delhi: It is no longer a hidden fact that Shah Rukh Khan is playing the role of a dwarf in Aanand L Rai's untitled movie. With comparisons of the character being drawn with Kamal Haasan in Appu Raja, it looks like there's a fresh theory which makes much more sense.

According to a DNA report, SRK's character is inpired by a 'Game of Thrones' character- yes you read that right!


The character of  Tyrion Lannister, played by Peter Dinklage is the inspiration behind King Khan's new role.


Here is what a source told dnaindia.com: 


“The source of Shah Rukh’s character is definitely on the lines of Tyrion Lannister, who is happy and always celebrating his life. Shah Rukh will play a happy dwarf, who brings families together.” 


'Game of Thrones' is a popular television series based on the books of George R. R. Martin. 


Tyrion Lannister, in the show, belongs to a royal family and is the brother of the queen. Because he is a dwarf, he is often underestimated and even hated by his own father. As the show progresses, Tyrion becomes one of the most important characters of the show and he proves that when one has a sharp mind, he/she can overcome any difficulty.


Tyrion says in the show- 'That's what I do, I drink and I know things', putting emphasis on the fact that even though he is small in size, he can make his way out of any situation through his intellect.


In SRK's character too, as the sources said, the dwarf will make up for his short height with his tall deeds.
