Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu health minister Ma Subramanian in a statement said that Rajinikanth was admitted to the private hospital on Monday night and since then he has been in constant touch with the hospital authorities. He however said that Rajinikanth was admitted to the hospital for a periodic checkup and since he was a big celebrity, he was admitted on Monday night.
The Tamil Nadu health minister also said that Rajinikanth was getting well and would be discharged soon.
It may be recalled that in 2020, Rajinikanth was admitted to a private hospital due to fluctuations in his blood pressure. He was later discharged and advised one month of rest.
