Chennai: Veteran south superstar Rajinikanth underwent a heart procedure this morning at Kauvery Hospital, a hospital statement said.
The Kauvery Hospital, in a statement, said: “Mr. Rajinikanth was admitted in Kavery Hospital, Alwarpet, Chennai on Thursday following an episode of giddiness. He was thoroughly evaluated by the expert panel of doctors and was advised to undergo Carotid Artery revascularization. The procedure was performed successfully today and he is recovering well. He is likely to be discharged from hospital in a few days,” the medical bulletin said.
Actor Rajinikanth had returned from Delhi on Wednesday, after receiving the Dadasaheb Phalke award. He had also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit.
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.
