Superstar Rajinikanth to feature in Bear Grylls' in Man vs Wild

Mysuru: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to be featured in Man vs Wild hosted by Bear Grylls, which will be shot in Karnataka’s Bandipur National Park, established in 1974 as a tiger reserve under Project Tiger.

The actor and a team of documentary makers from the popular international series Man vs Wild are in the tiger reserve to shoot the documentary since Monday evening and the shooting is scheduled for six hours on Tuesday and again on Thursday.

Reportedly, Grylls arrived at the location this morning wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. South star Rajinikanth was seen in a blue jacket and grey track pants and was seen carrying a cross-body bag.

“Permission for the shooting has been given for Sultan Batteri highway and ranges of Mulleholle, Maddur and Kalkere ranges. They will be shooting in non-tourist zones. If permission was given for the shooting of Wild Karnataka, then this can also be permitted. Also, no tourist or regular forest patrolling activities will be affected. The shooting will be done under special forest protection and no one will be aware of the locations,” senior forest department official was quoted speaking to The New Indian Express.

It may be recalled that earlier the Man vs Wild became headlines when Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the challenge with Bear Grylls.
