In Man vs Wild, former British serviceman Grylls showcases survival strategies in extremely challenging conditions in the most remote locations around the world. Rajinikanth is the second Indian personality to be featured on Man vs Wild after Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared on the Discovery Channel programme last year in August.
T. Balachandra, the reserve’s director and conservator of forests, told IANS, “We gave permission for 6-8 hours to Discovery Channel to shoot in Bandipur Tiger Reserve.” He said the one-day shoot began at 11 a.m. on Tuesday and ended by 4 p.m. “They paid as per the norms. Per day they have to pay a documentary fee, vehicle fee and others. For four days, they paid Rs 10 lakh,” Balachandra said.
Balachandra also said Rajinikanth spent five hours in the forest and will not return as his shoot was only for one day. Bandipur Tiger Reserve, an 874 sq km national park, was formed by integrating most of the forest areas of erstwhile Venugopala Wildlife Park established in 1941, and later enlarged to its current state in Chamarajanagar district, about 220 km southwest of Bengaluru.
The tiger reserve lists 28 species of mammals to be present in the forest, including royal Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, common leopard, bonnet macaque, Indian pipistrelle and barking deer, among others.
