So, when, officials from Discovery, a brand globally respected for offering inspiring real-life entertainment, approached me, I agreed to finally make my debut on TV after more than four decades of Cinema. Kavithalayaa, the iconic production house founded by my guru, K. Balachander also played a significant role.”

Our team is very excited to work closely with Thalaiva! Much more than a cine star,Rajinikanth is a phenomenon who has captivated audiences across the world with his on-screen and off-screen work. He has always shown such energy and flair in all he does and he will need that courage and determination again on our journey into the beautiful wilds of India, said, Bear Grylls. 

Rajinikanth opened up about raising awareness about water conservation, he said, every Indian will need to come forward and contribute in conserving water; this war has to be led at all levels including government, community as well as on the individual front.
