The hospitalisation of Rajinikanth has caused worry among his die-hard fans. Many X users posted messages praying for his speedy recovery.

Over the past few weeks, Rajinikanth had been shooting for his upcoming film, Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film’s shooting is currently taking place in Visakhapatnam. He travelled to Chennai on September 20 to attend the audio launch of Vettaiyan.

At the audio launch, Rajinikanth performed the hookstep of Manasilaayo along with composer Anirudh Ravichander and lyricist Super Subbu. He also delivered almost an hour-long speech at the event.

Vettaiyan is Rajinikanth’s upcoming film, which will hit theatres on October 10. The hard-hitting action drama is directed by TJ Gnanavel.
