Indian cinema legend Rajinikanth has been discharged from Chennai’s Apollo Hospital following a successful cardiac procedure, marking another triumphant return for the seemingly unstoppable superstar. The 73-year-old actor left the hospital late Thursday night (October 3), greeted by crowds of relieved fans.
Rajinikanth discharged from hospital after heart procedure
The health scare involved a concerning swelling in the actor’s aorta – the heart’s main blood vessel. In a testament to modern medical advances, the condition was resolved through a non-surgical approach. Dr. Sai Satish, a senior interventional cardiologist, performed a transcatheter procedure, skillfully placing a stent to address the aortic swelling.
“Mr Rajinikanth is stable and recovering well,” the hospital had assured in their statement, a promise that proved true with the star’s swift recovery.
While the superstar was under medical care, his daughter Soundarya was spotted at the Tiruvottiyur Shri Vadivudai Amman Temple, seeking divine intervention for her father’s recovery – a moment that touched fans across social media platforms.

The health setback hasn’t slowed down the unstoppable force that is Rajinikanth. Fresh off his cameo in daughter Aishwaryaa’s “Lal Salaam” and the success of “Jailer,” the actor is already making waves with his upcoming projects.
The recently released teaser for “Coolie” has set social media ablaze, featuring the superstar in an action-packed avatar, wielding an unusual weapon – a belt made of gold watches.

But that’s not all. The industry is buzzing about “Vettaiyan,” which marks a historic reunion between Rajinikanth and Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan after 33 years.
The film, helmed by TJ Gnanavel, boasts an impressive ensemble including Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, and Manju Warrier.
