Rajnikanth shoots at Bandipur National Park in Mysore for Man Vs Wild episode

Megastar Rajnikanth is ready to enthral his fans yet again, albeit on the small screen now. Hailed as Thalaivar (god) by his ardent fans, Rajnikanth will feature in TV presenter Bear Grylls’ show, Man vs Wild. The episode has been shot at the Bandipur National Park in Mysore in Karnataka.
The park is a habitat of tigers and other wild animals. News has it that Rajinikanth and Bear Grylls took due permission from the forest department for shooting, without which they could not have even entered the territory of the national park.

Reportedly, the Southern star reached Bandipur on January 27, and the shoot wrapped up by January 30. During the shooting, Rajnikanth got a few mild scratches on his body due to prickly thorns present in the forest area.

Bear Grylls had previously shot an episode with Indian PM Narendra Modi at the Corbett National Park in 2019. Apparently, that particular episode garnered record-breaking viewership on TV, and with Rajnikanth being the celebrity guest on Man vs Wild this season, it is natural for anyone to expect a phenomenal boom in TV ratings on the day of its premiere.

With Rajnikanth already having a flair for performing jaw-dropping feats and action sequences, we have no doubt that he will nail it when it comes to surviving during his jungle jaunts in Man vs Wild.
