That made all the media and all his fans focused on the point.

Is He Injured?

Bear Grylls said “Please and no he wasn’t injured. He was brave, determined and never gave up” on Instagram.

Later on, T Balachandra, the director of the tiger reserve and conservator of forests confirmed that the news of Rajinikanth being injured was fake.
He stated that “It is all false. As per the screenplay, there was a shot in which Rajinikanth had to fall, so while getting down from the rope, he just fell and everybody rushed. It was all in the screenplay”.
Moreover, Discovery India spokesperson also confirmed that Rajinikanth wasn’t injured.

Why?

Whatever was the scenario because of the doubt if Rajinikanth got injured or not, the certain episode gained a lot of popularity.
The fans’ anticipation to watch the show is increased.
Here if the statement of Mr. Balachandra is true then it proves a point that everything that happens in the show is not true or according to the circumstances.

But one thing for sure all the fans was happy that Rajinikanth had this experience without getting injured.
