Rajinikanth's health is stable, set to undergo elective procedure

Superstar Rajinikanth is set to undergo an elective procedure on Tuesday. He was admitted to a hospital in Chennai on Monday evening, triggering widespread concern among his fans and well-wishers. However, recent reports clarify that Rajinikanth's health did not face any sudden deterioration, nor was he admitted due to an emergency.

What is an elective procedure?

Elective procedures are medical interventions that patients choose to undergo rather than those required in urgent or life-threatening situations. These procedures are planned in advance and performed for various reasons, ranging from improving quality of life to addressing specific health concerns.

It remains unclear what specific issue necessitated Rajinikanth’s procedure. Some Tamil news outlets have speculated that it may be related to abdominal pain. However, Rajinikanth's wife, Latha, reassured the public, stating that the superstar's health is stable and that there is no reason for concern. She also confirmed that he is currently in good condition, and more information will be provided by the hospital soon.

The hospital is expected to release a formal statement later today, providing more clarity on Rajinikanth's condition and the nature of the procedure. Following the surgery, Rajinikanth is anticipated to remain in the hospital for a few days before making a full recovery.

Rajinikanth had been filming his latest movie, Coolie, in Hyderabad until September 28. He returned to Chennai earlier this week to prepare for the procedure.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, along with many other prominent figures, has extended his best wishes for Rajinikanth’s speedy recovery.

On the professional front, Rajinikanth remains busy with multiple projects. Filming for Coolie is progressing at a fast pace, while he also recently promoted his upcoming movie Vettaiyan, which is set to hit theatres next week.
