Actor Rajinikanth, who was hospitalized on Friday after experiencing extreme blood pressure fluctuations, is being kept under observation as his blood pressure is still high, according to a statement by Apollo Hospitals.
The statement said that investigations have not revealed anything alarming about the veteran actor’s condition.
“Mr Rajinikanth who was admitted to the hospital yesterday is progressing well. He has had an uneventful night and his blood pressure is still on the higher side although under better control than yesterday. Investigations have not revealed anything alarming so far. He is scheduled for a further set of investigations today, the reports of which will be available by the evening," read the statement.
The statement added that Rajinikanth’s blood pressure medication was being titrated carefully.
“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,” the statement read.
Rajinikanth was in Hyderabad to complete shooting his portion for upcoming Tamil film Annaatthe. The shoot was halted earlier this week after eight crew members tested positive for the coronavirus.
Earlier this month, Rajinikanth took to Twitter to reveal that he was finally ready to take the long-delayed political plunge. In a brief statement, he said that his party would be non-corrupt, honest and transparent and that it would sweep in next state assembly elections.
