Apollo hospital in a bulletin said the actor's blood pressure was still on the higher side although it is under better control than on Friday. The medical observations have not revealed anything 'alarming' so far about his health. Superstar Rajinikanth, who was admitted to the Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad for severe blood pressure fluctuations, is progressing well, the hospital said on Saturday. 

The 70-year old actor is scheduled to undergo more investigations on Saturday, whose reports would be available by the evening, it said. ''Mr Rajinikanth who was admitted in 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,'' it said. It further said, his blood pressure medications were being observed carefully and he would 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", it said adding "based on his investigations and control of pressure, a decision on his discharge will be taken by the evening". Visitors were not allowed to meet him. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami, Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu and actor-politician Kamal Haasan have wished the actor a speedy recovery. He is all set to launch his own political party next month ahead of the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
