Superstar Rajinikanth was admitted to Chennai’s Apollo Hospital in the late hours on Monday, September 30.

According to a hospital source, the 73-year-old actor’s condition is “stable” right now. The source, as quoted by News18, said the superstar was admitted to the hospital on Monday night after claiming to have “stomach problems.”

The actor will reportedly have an elective operation performed by interventional cardiologist Dr. Sai Satish. On Tuesday, the procedure will take place in the cardiac cath lab. Updates on the actor’s health are anxiously anticipated by fans and well-wishers. The actor was last seen in Nelson Dilipkumar’s ‘Jailer’.

Rajinikanth has been filming his next movie, Coolie, which is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, over the last few weeks. Visakhapatnam is the present location of the shoot. On September 20, he left for Chennai to attend Vettaiyan’s audio launch.

During the audio launch, Rajinikanth, lyricist Super Subbu, and composer Anirudh Ravichander played the Manasilaayo hookstep. At the ceremony, he also gave a speech that lasted about an hour. Rajinikanth’s next movie, Vettaiyan, will open in theatres on October 10. The director of the hard-hitting action drama is TJ Gnanavel.

Among his devoted followers, Rajinikanth’s hospitalisation has raised concerns. Several X users sent messages wishing for a quick recovery for him.

MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu wished Rajinikanth a quick recovery. The statement “I wish my buddy Mr. Rajinikanth, who has been hospitalized, a speedy recovery” is a bit of a translation of his Tamil post on X.
