Superstar Rajinikanth, who was hospitalised on Friday due to fluctuations in blood pressure, is “progressing well” reads an official statement by Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad. The actor 70-year-old was shooting for the film Annaatthe in Hyderabad.
Though Rajinikanth’s blood pressure is still on the higher side, it is better than before, the statement reads. Results of more tests are expected on Saturday evening. The doctors treating him will decide on whether or not to discharge the superstar by evening. Earlier this week, four crew members of Annaatthe tested positive for coronavirus.
“He has had an uneventful night and his blood pressure is still on the higher side although under better control than yesterday. His investigations have not revealed anything alarming so far. He is scheduled for a further set of investigations today, reports of which will be available by the evening. His blood pressure medications are being titrated carefully and he will continue to be under close monitoring. He has been advised complete rest in view of his labile blood pressure and visitors are not being allowed to meet him. Based on his investigations and control of blood pressure, a decision on his discharge will be taken by the evening,” the statement from the hospital reads.
