Rajinikanth discharged from the hospital, pens an emotional note

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to fans and well-wishers for their support during his recent hospitalization. The “Vettaiyan” star, who was discharged from Apollo Hospital in Chennai late Thursday night, took to social media to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes for his speedy recovery.

“My heartfelt thanks to my politician friends, colleagues in cinema, my friends, well-wishers, and media friends for hoping a speedy recovery for me after recently being hospitalized,” wrote Rajinikanth in a post penned in Tamil. “Moreover, a special thanks to the people who made me, my fans who have prayed for my well-being with their limitless love.”

Rajinikanth was admitted to the hospital on September 30 after experiencing severe stomach pain. He underwent a non-surgical, transcatheter procedure to treat a swelling in the main blood vessel leaving his heart, resulting in the successful placement of a stent in the aorta.

The actor’s daughter, filmmaker Soundarya Rajinikanth, visited the Tiruvottiyur Shri Vadivudai Amman Temple in Chennai to offer prayers for her father’s well-being.

Rajinikanth’s discharge comes just days before the release of his highly anticipated film, “Vettaiyan.” Directed by TJ Gnanavel and produced by Lyca Productions, the film features a star-studded cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, Dushara Vijayan, and Abhirami. “Vettaiyan” marks Lyca Productions’ 30th venture, Amitabh Bachchan’s Tamil cinema debut, and Rajinikanth’s 170th film. The film is set for a worldwide release on October 10th.

Rajinikanth is also currently working on “Coolie,” directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Sun Pictures. While the release date remains unconfirmed, rumors suggest that Sivakarthikeyan may play a significant role in the film, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

The news of Rajinikanth’s recovery has brought joy to his fans and well-wishers across the globe. His fans eagerly await his return to the silver screen, ready to celebrate the release of “Vettaiyan” and witness his continued cinematic brilliance.
