Superstar Rajinikanth Undergoes Heart Procedure at Chennai Hospital

The 71-year-old actor is likely to be discharged from the hospital before the release of his film, Annaatthe.

 

Sources close to the top star said on Thursday night that the 70-year-old was undergoing routine medical examination at the hospital in Chennai. “It is a health check-up done routinely on a periodical basis. He is now in a private hospital for the check-up,” the actor’s publicist Riaz K Ahmed told PTI. According to sources, the actor is likely to be treated for four days.

“He is undergoing tests. He is fine and it’s just a regular check-up,” a hospital spokesperson told News18. Rajinikanth’s wife Latha Rajinikanth, daughter Aishwarya Dhanush and his brother-in-law Ravichander were with him at the hospital. Speaking to News18, Latha Rajinikanth had said, “Nothing to worry.” Rajinikanth had previously been admitted to the hospital in December last year for severe blood pressure fluctuations.
