Rajinikanth suffers minor injuries while filming ‘Man vs Wild’

Tamil actor Rajinikanth suffered minor injuries on Tuesday after he fell while shooting an episode of “Man Vs Wild” in Karnataka’s Bandipur forest. The shooting was wrapped for the day after the fall.

“It was a small fall,” said wildlife activist Joseph Hoover. “He fell on Lantana shrub and suffered scratches on his arm.” 

The shooting was scheduled for six hours on Tuesday and is likely to be continued on Thursday, when Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar will join the cast.

The Karnataka forest department has reportedly asked the show’s crew to explain the use of drones without permission.

Last year in August, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was featured in the Discovery Channel show hosted by British adventurer Bear Grylls.
