While Rajinikanth has completed his shoot, Akshay Kumar is all set to film with Bear Grylls tomorrow!
According to a report published in a local daily in Mysuru, Karnataka, the team of Bear Grylls spent their day today looking for a suitable place inside Bandipur Tiger Reserve to shoot with Akshay Kumar.

He can easily roam around in the difficult terrain of the forest and make for great company with Bear Grylls. Akshay hopes to learn the survival techniques from Bear. The British adventurer too hopes to imbibe some of his admirable qualities. We assure it’ll be an episode to watch out for!”
