Jerome is popularly known for his role of Bronn in Games of Thrones. In Empuraan, he plays the role of Boris Oliver. Prithviraj revealed Jerome's look from the film and also posted a video of the actor sharing his experience working on the film.

In the video, Jerome introduced himself and said, "I play the part of Boris in Empuraan or L2:E. I can't quite remember how I got roped into this job but I'm so glad I did because it was a completely different experience from what I'm used to having over in the UK or the US. To be part of the Mollywood culture of things and to get a taste of that was really special."

Jerome on working in India

The actor said that working in India was 'extra special' for him and went on to explain the reason behind the same. "It's extra special to me, I think, because India was a really important…precious part of my journey. I spent several years coming over here in my late 20s and early 30s, mostly on spiritual retreats. And the whole experience of being in India, it has changed my life forever in the best possible way. So, doing this job felt rather like coming home."
