Television star Rithvik Dhanjani is stepping into an 'akhara' (wrestling arena) for his new show "Man VS Job".

Rithvik is taking up wrestling in Khanna, Ludhiana.

He will be travelling across India and living the life of a common man while hosting "Man Vs Job" on History TV18 channel, said a statement.

The actor will also take up extremely challenging jobs -- from 'kushti' and collecting honey to becoming a mountain trekking guide and forest ranger.

He will also engage in native jobs which are rather unusual and will stay with locals at their homes.

The show aims at giving the audience a chance to experience India's varied culture and learn about the not-so-famous occupations. It also aims to create awareness about the dangerous jobs that people do for a living in this country.
