Rajinikanth hospitalised

According to the publication, Rajinikanth was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Chennai on Monday night after he complained of stomach pain. He will undergo an elective procedure under the care of interventional cardiologist Dr Sai Satish, they report. When contacted by them and inquired about the actor’s health, his wife told them, “All is well,” without divulging further.

A source at the hospital told PTI, “His condition is stable following his admission for digestive discomfort. He will undergo an elective procedure in the cath lab to attend to the problem near his abdomen and will be later shifted to a room.” The agency also reported that he will likely be discharged by Tuesday evening.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin wished the actor a speedy recovery on X (formerly Twitter), and Rajinikanth’s fans did, too.

Rajinikanth's upcoming work

Recently, Rajinikanth attended the audio and prevue launch of his upcoming film Vettaiyan. The film, directed by TJ Gnanavel, is slated for release on October 10.
