Recently, Rajinikanth shot for an episode in Mysuru and reports claimed that he got injured in the process. However, later T Balachandra, the reserve’s director and conservator of forests told IANS, “It is all false. As per the screenplay, there was a shot in which Rajinikanth had to fall, so while getting down from the rope, he just fell down and everybody rushed. It was all in the screenplay.”

In Man vs Wild, former British serviceman Grylls showcases survival strategies in extreme challenging conditions in the most remote locations around the world. The popular show, which is in its eighth season, features Grylls tackling extreme challenges and navigating through remote locations around the world, sharing invaluable survival strategies along the way.

Among the celebrities that have featured on the show are actors Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts, tennis player Roger Federer, basketball star Michael B Jordan and President Obama.
