Bear Grills has been in touch with actor Priyanka Chopra and cricketer Virat Kohli to join him on the reality show Running Wild With Bear Grylls, reports said.
“Priyanka is the number one (celebrity) for our next show along with Virat Kohli. Both of them are such inspirational figures, who are loved around the world. So, getting to hear their stories and getting to know their journey and their life would be such a privilege for me and everyone,” the adventurer told Hindustan Times.
He said earlier that he would be back in India to shoot something special for his next project in the next few months.
The television adventurer is known for his popular jungle survival programme ‘Man vs Wild’ where he is joined by several Indian personalities including actors Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, Vicky Kaushal and Ranveer Singh.
In 2019, he famously hosted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a journey to explore Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand.
“Wherever I visit the country, I feel warmth and love. It is hard to explain but I feel an incredible connection with India, whether I am with PM Modi, or with Ranveer or just meeting people of the country. It’s so beautiful,” he said.
