A decade ago, Rajinikanth underwent a kidney transplant in Singapore, an experience that had already raised concerns regarding his health. In recent times, he had chosen not to move forward with his political aspirations, specifically citing health reasons. His decision was a disappointment for many fans who had looked forward to his political entry, but the actor emphasized prioritizing his well-being.
According to a report by Times of India, Rajinikanth is under the care of Dr. Sai Satish, an interventional cardiologist at Apollo Hospitals. The upcoming elective cardiac procedure will take place in the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab, which typically involves minimally invasive techniques aimed at diagnosing or treating heart conditions. Reports also suggested that the actor was taken to the hospital after experiencing severe stomach pain, though his condition remains stable. Fans across the country are hoping for his swift recovery as he prepares for this medical procedure.
