He’s at the top of the political food chain at the moment, but can Prime Minister Narendra Modi survive a day out in the wild? In a special episode of the show Man vs Wild, outdoor survival expert Bear Grylls will take Modi through the Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve on a supposedly untamed adventure. Grylls teased a glimpse of what’s to come through this trailer.

In the trailer, one can see PM Modi and Grylls floating downriver on a makeshift raft, sniffing what looks like elephant dung, trawling through the forest, and hacking together what looks like a spear.

Bear Grylls is a former British Special Air Services officer, who now runs an outdoors-survival franchise. His most popular outfit is the show, Man vs Wild, where he inserts himself (and often his guests) into seemingly life-threatening scenarios in the wild. Over the course of the show, Grylls shows how you can use the elements of nature to extricate yourself to safety.

Grylls has had the occasional celebrity, including Roger Federer and Julia Roberts, on the show. However, his most high-profile guest has been former US President Barack Obama. And now, Grylls has yet another VIP to escort through the wild. Of course, the reactions have started pouring in.

The truth is Out! Mr.Modi fought entire elections in name of ‘Rashtrawaad’ and this is what he was doing when #pulwama happened! He was shooting for the film when our jawans got martyred! Really wild! https://t.co/p75s4Qx0gw — Rohan Gupta (@rohanrgupta) July 29, 2019

Modi says climate is not changing, people are getting older.

Modi has diluted India’s laws on forests, coasts, wildlife, air & waste.

Modi constituted the National Board for Wildlife without the required number of non-profit representatives & eminent ecologists as its members. https://t.co/XtjxVfclWC — Ashok Swain (@ashoswai) July 29, 2019

That’s the Vladimir Putin India has. Linking this with Pulwama attacks won’t be true because it was a coincidence. Even @BarackObama has featured in @BearGrylls show. Come, explore tourism in India. #PMModi #PMModionDiscovery #modi #india https://t.co/2cGpIrgCag — DEBDEEP MUKHERJEE (@RijuCNN) July 29, 2019

At the end of the show, Grylls tells Modi: “My job is to keep you alive. Seems like he did just fine.
