Following the admission of veteran actor Rajinikanth to Apollo Hospitals in Chennai due to health issues, numerous celebrities and prominent figures voiced their concern for his well-being. The superstar has now expressed his sincere appreciation for the overwhelming support he has received.
Rajinikanth took to X (formerly Twitter) to thank megastar Amitabh Bachchan for his 'warm concern', stating, 'Thank you @SrBachchan ji for your love and showing such warm concern towards me... truly touched.' He also conveyed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, writing, 'My dear honourable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji... my heartfelt thanks to you for your care and concern regarding my health and checking on me personally.'
The actor was discharged from the hospital on Thursday night around 11pm, as confirmed by Chennai Police. According to a bulletin from Apollo Hospitals on October 1, Rajinikanth had a swelling in the main blood vessel leaving his heart (aorta), which was treated using a non-surgical, transcatheter method. Senior interventional cardiologist, Dr. Sai Satish, placed a stent in the aorta, effectively sealing off the swelling. The procedure was executed as planned.
Rajinikanth's daughter, Soundarya, visited the Tiruvottiyur Shri Vadivudai Amman Temple in Chennai to pray for her father's swift recovery. On the professional front, Rajinikanth is set to star in the eagerly awaited film 'Coolie.' Although details are scarce, a recently released monochrome teaser featuring the actor has already garnered significant attention. The teaser depicts Rajinikanth in an action-packed role, confronting adversaries with a belt made of gold watches.
Additionally, Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth are slated to share screen space in the upcoming film 'Vettaiyan.'
