PM Modi's 'Man vs. Wild' episode was a massive hit
Last year, PM Modi featured on a special episode of Man vs. Wild, with Bear Grylls. The episode, that was shot in Uttarakhand's Jim Corbett National Park in February 2019, aired on Discovery channel in August that year. The much-hyped episode turned out to be a massive hit, clocking a whopping 3.6 billion impressions in a two-week run time.
Grylls has previously hosted many celebrity guests on his shows
Grylls, who is also a former British Army serviceman, has previously hosted celebrity guests from around the world, including the likes of former US President Barack Obama, actor Kate Winslet, Channing Tatum, Zac Efron, Ben Stiller, Kate Hudson, Michelle Rodriguez, James Marsden and Michael Jordan.
