Grylls shared the poster, tweeting, “Preparing for @Rajinikanth’s blockbuster TV debut with an Into The Wild with Bear Grylls motion poster! I have worked with many stars around the world but this one for me was special. Love India. #ThalaivaOnDiscovery.”
He added, tagging the Darbar star in the post, “@rajinikanth has always been a star with swagger! But in the wild everything is different… It was so fun to spend time with the legend and get to know and see him in a totally new way… #ThalaivaOnDiscovery @DiscoveryIN.”
