New Delhi (NVI): Superstar Rajinikanth has been admitted to hospital in Hyderabad over “severe fluctuations” in his blood pressure.
The mega-star was in Hyderabad for the shoot of his film “Annaatthe” but it was cancelled earlier this week after four members of the crew tested positive for Covid.
A statement issued by Apollo Hospital read, “Mr. Rajnikanth has been admitted in the hospital today in the morning. He was shooting for a movie in Hyderabad since the last 10 days.”
“A couple of people on the sets tested positive for Covid-19. Mr. Rajnikanth was tested on December 22 for Covid-19 and he was negative. Since then, he isolated himself and was monitored closely. Though he did not have any symptoms of Covid-19, his Blood Pressure showed severe fluctuations and needed further evaluation for which he has been admitted to the hospital,” the statement added.
The 70-year-old actor had in October admitted that his doctors had advised him to take extra care as his immune system was weak after a renal transplant, which made him more susceptible to the coronavirus.
