A few months before, when Rajinikanth was participating in Annaatthe’s shooting in Hyderabad, his health took a beating. He had fluctuations in BP, post which he spent a few days in a hospital and shooting was called off.
After a few months’ rest, shooting kick-started again. Rajinikanth is flying abroad for medical purposes soon. He has been approved by the centre to fly in a special plane.
Sources say that Rajinikanth is likely to fly on June 19. It is learnt that he will be accompanied by his family members. Vairamuthu tweeted that he spoke to Rajinikanth over the phone and relayed his best wishes to him ahead of his journey.
Vairamuthu took to Twitter and wrote –
மருத்துவச் சோதனைக்கு அமெரிக்கா செல்லும் ரஜினி நலம் பெற்று இளமையுற்று நாடு திரும்ப வேண்டுமென்று தொலைபேசியில் அழைத்து வாழ்த்தினேன். 'மனம் விட்டு உரையாடவும் உறவாடவும் நாம் சிலர்தானே இருக்கிறோம்' என்பது ரஜினி என்னிடம் அடிக்கடி சொல்வது. அந்தச் சிலருள் ஒருவர் சிறப்போடு வாழ்க.
