Prior to Akshay, Rajinikanth also joined Grylls in an episode for Man vs Wild in Mysuru. The shoot was halted with reports claiming that the superstar had been injured which was later refuted by 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.”
