British adventurer Bear Grylls on Monday shared a new teaser from his show for Discovery Channel, Into the Wild, featuring superstar Rajinikanth. He revealed that the 70-year-old veteran embraced every challenge thrown at him in the wild.
Sharing the teaser, Grylls wrote: “Superstar Rajinikanth’s relentless positivity and never-give-up spirit was so visible in the wild as he embraced every challenge thrown at him. Respect! Watch Into the Wild with Bear Grylls on March 23 at 8pm.”
The teaser features Bear Grylls and Rajinikanth in action on a wild adventure trip in Karnataka's Bandipur Tiger Reserve and National Park.
After prime minister Narendra Modi, Rajinikanth becomes the second Indian personality to be featured on Grylls's survival show. The episode with Modi was aired last year in August.
On the career front, Rajinikanth is currently shooting for the Tamil film Annaatthe, which is being directed by Siva, director of Ajith-starrers Veeram (2014) and Viswasam (2019).
The project, which will see Rajinikanth play a caring brother, marks his maiden collaboration with the director.
Tipped to be a rural drama, the film, bankrolled by Sun Pictures, also stars Keerthy Suresh, Meena and Kushboo in key roles. The film was officially launched last December in Chennai in a low-key affair.
The film, which has music by D Imman, is already slated for a Diwali 2020 release.
Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that Rajinikanth will team up next with Vijay-starrer Master (2020) director Lokesh Kanagaraj for an as-yet-untitled Tamil project, which will be bankrolled by Kamal Haasan.
