A lot of users were also perplexed with Discovery’s choice being Narendra Modi for the radical show.
Just for everyone's attention, PM @narendramodi doesn't believe in climate change.

But this isn’t to say that the Indian population is any less excited for the show.
It was President of US, now PM of India , Did not see it coming but #Proud. Hope he knew PM @narendramodi was a vegetarian though😂.

I always wanted @BearGrylls to do a Man vs Wild in India but then I used wonder that where will he get stuck in survivor situation? There is population in every corner of the country so he can be rescued in half an hr.
Never thought that he will come to India in this format 👍🏻

This is a very welcome step in the right direction. Wildlife protection needs strong voices and influential supporters

“For years, I have lived among nature, in the mountains and the forests. These years have a lasting impact on my life. So when I was asked about a special programme focussing on life beyond politics and that too in the midst of nature I was both intrigued and inclined to take part in it.”
What we can say is, this could be the most watched episode of the show. It will be aired at 9PM on 12th August, 2019 on Discovery Channel.
