Fans offer prayers for Rajinikanth

Apart from fluctuating blood pressure and exhaustion he does not have any other symptoms and is hemodynamically stable,” the statement said.

Rajinikanth had gone to Hyderabad on December 13 for the shooting of his latest film ‘Annaatthe’ which resumed on December 14 at Ramoji Film City after a long break due to the Covid-19 induced lockdown. Earlier this week, the shooting was postponed indefinitely after four members of the crew tested positive for Covid-19. Though Rajinikanth tested negative, he isolated himself and was monitored closely by a team from the hospital.

As news spread about Rajinikanth getting admitted to the hospital, fans offered prayers for his safe return to the city. Telangana governor Tamilisai Soundararajan and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu wished the actor speedy recovery. DMK chief M K Stalin inquired about the actor’s health over phone.
