Chennai: Rajinikanth was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai on the night of Thursday 28 October. The actor's publicist Riyaz Ahmed earlier told the media that it was a routine health check-up. A medical bulletin issued by Kauvery Hospital to the press later on Friday, 29 October said, “Shri Rajinikanth was admitted to Kauvery Hospital, Alwarpet, Chennai yesterday (28 October 2021) after suffering from dizziness. He was thoroughly evaluated by an expert panel of doctors and advised to undergo carotid artery revascularisation. The procedure was done successfully today (29 October 2021) and is recovering well. He is likely to be discharged from the hospital after a few days."

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes plaque from inside your carotid artery to restore normal blood flow to your brain. A surgeon will make an incision in your neck, access the affected artery, open it and remove the plaque buildup. Police personnel have been deployed outside the hospital gate to ensure that fans of the actor do not crowd or enter the premises. According to reports, around 30 police personnel have been deployed in the hospital.

Earlier this week, Rajinikanth won the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award. He was honored with this award at the 67th National Film Awards ceremony held on Monday. The actor had dedicated the award to his mentor K Balachander, his brother Satyanarayan Rao Gaekwad and his longtime friend and former colleague Raj Bahadur, who was a bus driver. Before pursuing a career in acting, the Tamil superstar was working as a conductor. Rajinikanth made his screen debut in 1975 in a small role in the Tamil drama Apoorva Raagangal.
