Rajinikanth, the legendary actor, has been admitted to Apollo Hospital for a planned elective cardiac procedure. According to reports from the hospital, he is being treated by Dr. Sai Satish, an interventional cardiologist. His health is reported to be stable as he prepares for the upcoming procedure, which is scheduled to occur in the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab on Tuesday. Such procedures generally utilise minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and address various heart conditions.

No official statement has been released by the hospital or Rajinikanth's family at this time. However, according to ET, hospital sources have confirmed that his condition is stable. He was admitted after experiencing severe stomach pain.

When news of the actor's hospitalisation spread online, netizens quickly took to their social media accounts to send their best wishes to the superstar. Fans expressed their hopes for his recovery. A social media user said, "Get Well Soon Thalaivaaaaa Come back fast". Another added, "SuperStar Rajinikanth is reportedly suffering from intense stomach pain, and an abdominal aneurysm is suspected. A scheduled cardiac procedure is expected to take place in the hospital's catheterization lab later this morning. Let's Wish him a speedy recovery!"

Rajinikanth's hospitalisation is a significant disappointment for fans, especially as the actor was set to attend the trailer launch of his upcoming film 'Vettaiyan' on October 2. Directed by T.J. Gnanavel, the film is slated for release on October 10.
