Hospitalization and return

For example, in January 2011, Rajinikanth was expected to be seen in Rana, a period film to be produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth and directed by K. S. Ravikumar, who would be working up with the actor for the third time. In the course of the principal photography of the film on April 29th, 2011, he had a minor food infection while on set that led to him vomiting, dehydrating, and exhausting himself. For a day, he was treated in St. Isabel’s Hospital before being discharged. Five days later, after having problems with breathlessness and fever, he was brought back to the same hospital quickly. He was found to have bronchitis and remained hospitalized for seven days, including several days in the intensive care unit. There were different words when he was discharged, and there were claims that Rajinikanth had poor health issues. Just 48 hours after his last discharge, Rajinikanth was admitted again to the Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute on November 16, 2011, because of repeated respiratory and gastrointestinal problems he experienced. The hospital claimed that Rajinikanth was doing well and responding well to treatment. It was then rumored that Rajinikanth needed a kidney transplant, something Dhanush rejected later."
A photo of her and Rajinikanth, both doing a thumbs-up pose, in his hospital ward was made public by Aishwarya Rajinikanth on May 21, 2011, in response to public backlash from fans concerning some news reports. Unauthorized guests were not allowed to access the premises. Rajinikanth's brother, Sathyanarayana Rao Gaekwad, reported that the cause of the sudden illness was stress from rapid weight loss and changes in diet, as well as withdrawal of alcohol consumption and smoking cessation. On May 21, 2011, Rajinikanth and his family would undergo more treatment at Mount Elizabeth Hospital for nephropathy, as he had been advised by Amitabh Bachchan to travel from Chennai to Singapore and address fans through a four-minute digital voice message to the media beforehand.
