In July, it was reported widely that Chiyaan Vikram had suffered a heart attack. The news was not true at all. He was admitted to a hospital in Chennai after he complained of mild discomfort in the chest. At that time, YouTubers got overboard and started spreading false news for views.

During a promotional event of 'Cobra' on Sunday, the 'Aparichitudu' actor made a reference to one of the sensational YouTube rumours that claimed that Jr NTR kept crying over Vikram's 'terrible' health condition. "I was shocked on coming to know of it. I asked my doctors if I was alright at all," the 'I' actor said.

'Cobra' is gearing up for a theatrical release on Aug 31 in Telugu and Tamil. AR Rahman's music is billed as a key highlight. Srinidhi Shetty and former cricketer Irfan Pathan have key roles. The action thriller has action choreography by Dhilip Subbarayan.

Vikram will have another major release a month later. On Sept 30, Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan-I' will hit the screens.
