BIG BREAKING: Rajinikanth admitted to Hyderabad hospital due to fluctuating blood pressure

New Delhi:  Rajinikanth has been admitted to hospital in Hyderabad over “severe fluctuations” in his blood pressure, a statement said on Friday.

The mega-star is 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. According to a statement by Apollo hospitals, Hyderabad, Rajinikanth had tested negative for Covid on Tuesday.

“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.

He will be investigated and monitored closely in the hospital till his blood pressure settles down before being discharged,” the statement said. Apollo added that apart from fluctuating blood pressure and exhaustion “he did not have any other symptoms and is hemodynamically stable”.

Rajinikanth 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.

The doctors had reportedly advised the veteran actor that a vaccine was the only solution and they were not sure if his body would even accept it.
