Rajini will soon be back to complete RANA – Dhanush
Superstar Rajinikanth, who has been in and out of hospital over the last three weeks, is recovering well at a Singapore facility and will be back in Chennai soon, said his son-in-law and actor Dhanush on Tuesday.
“He is responding well to treatment at the Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre. He should be back in Chennai in a week or 10 days,” said Dhanush after announcing the nominees for the 58th Idea Filmfare Awards 2010 (south).
“Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre gave him fantastic treatment. They made him fit to travel so he could get better treatment,” said Dhanush, explaining the reason for moving Rajinikanth to Singapore. “The doctors have identified the root cause and it is not an irreversible condition. The superstar is eating well, watching a lot of movies and in a great mood to shop. If he doesn’t return after 10 days that will be because we would be on a family vacation,” said the actor, adding that Rajini will surely complete ‘Raana’.
Rajinikanth was flown to Singapore on May 27 from Chennai, after a series of illnesses. He was admitted to Isabel hospital after the first day of shooting for his latest film ‘Raana’. He was later admitted to Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre for respiratory infection and other problems.
Dhanush requested fans to not believe rumours. “He has not undergone a kidney transplant. Soon there will be a statement from the superstar himself,” said Dhanush, who recently received a national award for his performance in Aadukalam.
“I am happy to be associated with the prestigious Filmfare awards. So far, I have not won an award but am planning to attend this year’s ceremony,” he said. The ceremony will be held at Hyderabad International Convention Centre on July 2, said Jitesh Pillai, editor, Filmfare. People have voted for nominees in 10 categories each in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada movies.
