Veteran actor Rajinikanth was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai late on Monday, sources said. The 73-year-old is likely to undergo an elective procedure on Tuesday, they said and added that his condition was stable.
There has been no official communication from Rajinikanth’s family or the hospital yet. As per hospital sources, the actor had reportedly complained of stomach pain.
One of India’s most popular actors, Rajinikanth had experienced a similar health scare in 2020, which forced him to let go of his political aspirations.
On the work front, the actor is currently filming for Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie.
His upcoming release, Vettaiyan, marked his maiden collaboration with Jai Bhim director TJ Gnanavel. The film will release on October 10. Apart from Rajinikanth, Vettaiyan also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh and Dushara Vijayan. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music for the movie.
