Ajay to fight the wild with Bear Grylls

- —Staff Report

Is Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn, who is known for his spectacula­r stunt sequences in his films, made of sterner stuff?

We can soon find out as the 52-year-old talent gets ready to participat­e in the hit survival reality show Into The Wild With Bear Grylls, which has seen the likes of Tamil superstar Rajinikant­h and Akshay Kumar participat­e previously.

Devgn’s episode will be premiere on the discovery+ app and will chronicle the star’s journey into the wilderness.

According to a report in The Quint, Devgn’s special episode will be set in Maldives, the idyllic beach getaway popular among honeymoone­rs.

But Devgn’s brush with Maldives won’t be just about swimming in the ocean. It will also be about surviving as the currents get choppy.

In the episode featuring Kumar in 2019, survivalis­t and adventurer Grylls propelled Kumar to zip-line across a river teeming with crocodiles.

Into The Wild With Bear Grylls has also famously featured Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as one of its guests.

Devgn, who was last seen in the war film Bhuj: The Pride of India, is gearing up for the release of films

including RRR, Maidaan and Gangubai Kathiawadi.
