Will Rajinikanth star in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie?
Kollywood’s megastar Rajinikanth has been discharged from a chennai hospital after having successfully undergone an elective procedure, during which a stent was placed near his lower abdominal area. The procedure was carried out by a team of three specialty doctors in a cath lab. He is now recuperating at home.Meanwhile fans were concerned if the shooting of his upcoming film Coolie had any bearing on his health, director lokesh kanagaraj addressed the press to clear the air. He confirmed that the shoot had no impact on Rajinikanth’s health, explaining that the actor was hospitalised in chennai, while the Coolie team was busy shooting in Vizag. lokesh reassured fans that Rajinikanth is recovering well, saying that the superstar’s health takes priority over the film’s timeline.Furthermore lokesh said, “Rajini sir is recovering well, I spoke to him over the phone. I want to clarify something. He informed the team around forty days ago that he would undergo treatment. So, it’s sad to see false news spread on social media. Ultimately, Rajini sir’s health is more important than shooting for Coolie. If he had any discomfort on sets, we would’ve cancelled shooting, and the entire unit would’ve been by his side at the hospital. It was disheartening to see such falsehood being peddled by YouTubers.”
