American pay television network and flagship channel Discovery has announced a new reality show exploring martial arts and combat skills titled ‘India’s Ultimate Warrior’, hosted by Actor Vidyut Jammwal.

The series will premiere on March 4 on discovery+ streamer and March 14 on Discovery Channel.

The show will have 16 contenders across diverse professions (athlete, police, swimmer, marketer, etc) in physical and competitive challenges.

However, Bollywood Khiladi aka Akshay Kumar will feature in a special episode of the show.

Jammwal, known for headlining action films like the ‘Commando’ series and ‘Khuda Haafiz’, will be seen commanding the “fight camp” and helping the contenders battle it out through the course of their journey on the show.

The actor, along with four mentors — experts in the range of combat forms — will find the “ultimate warrior, who has the right blend of physical and mental attributes like focus, control, determination, balance and discipline”.

Jammwal, who is trained in the oldest martial art form Kalaripayattu, said it’s about time that “reality shows become real”.
