In 2020, Rajinikanth was hospitalized after fluctuations in his blood pressure, reportedly due to hypertension. He was later discharged from the hospital after his BP stabilized. He was advised by the doctors to get a week’s rest.
Back then, the hospital also issued a statement that read, “Mr. Rajinikanth was tested on December 22 for COVID-19, and he was negative. Since then, he isolated himself and was monitored closely. Though he did not have any symptoms of Covid-19, his blood pressure showed severe fluctuations and needed further evaluation, for which he has been admitted to the hospital. He will be investigated and monitored closely in the hospital till his blood pressure settles down before being discharged. Apart from fluctuating blood pressure and exhaustion he does not have any other symptoms and is hemodynamically stable.”
Meanwhile, Thalaivar also had a kidney transplant back in 2016.
On the work front, Rajinikanth was looking forward to the grand trailer launch of his upcoming film Vettaiyan. The movie will hit the big screens on October 10, coinciding with the Dussehra festival. Vettaiyan also features Amitabh Bachchan and Fahadh Faasil in prominent roles.
