The superstar’s family and doctors have advised fans not to visit the hospital where he is admitted. The actor had been filming in Hyderabad for his upcoming movie Annatthe. Four people on set tested positive, causing filming to temporarily halt.

Apollo Hospitals had said in a statement Friday morning that although Rajinikanth had no symptoms of Covid-19, his blood pressure was showing severe fluctuations and he needed further evaluation, for which he was admitted to the hospital.

“He will be closely investigated and monitored in the hospital until his blood pressure stabilizes before being discharged. Apart from fluctuating blood pressure and exhaustion, he does not have any symptoms and is hemodynamically stable,” the hospital said.
