The popular filmmaker, who recently wrapped up the second schedule of Coolie in Vizag, addressed the media after the same. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who opened up about Rajinikanth’s health condition, revealed that he spoke to the legendary superstar recently, and he is recovering well. According to the filmmaker, the leading man informed the team about his plans to get the non-surgical procedure done by the end of September 2024, before they kickstarted the Vizag schedule.

Lokesh Kanagaraj, who revealed that Rajinikanth was not admitted due to any medical emergency, further added that the same was exaggerated by the media.

Sun Pictures, on the other hand, would have immediately cancelled the shoot, if it was an emergency.
