Is Shah Rukh Khan’s dwarf character inspired by Tyrion Lannister of 'Game of Thrones'?

It is known that Shah Rukh Khan is playing a dwarf in Aanand L Rai’s untitled film. Comparisons were instantly drawn with Kamal Haasan in Appu Raja. But it seems we have been barking up the wrong tree. Apparently, Shah Rukh’s character is inspired by that of Tyrion Lannister played by Peter Dinklage in Game Of Thrones.

Says a source, “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.” According to sources, the midget will make up for his lack of height with his tall deeds.
