“He was thoroughly evaluated by the expert panel of doctors and was advised to undergo Carotid Artery Revascularisation, said Dr Aravindan Selvaraj, co-founder and Executive Director, in a statement.
“The procedure was performed successfully today (October 29) and he is recovering well. He is likely to be discharged from the hospital after a few days,” Dr Selvaraj added.
Rajinikanth, who was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award on Thursday, had tweeted that he had watched his yet-to-be released movie ‘Annatthe‘ with his grandson on Wednesday.
Last year, Rajinikanth decided against taking a much-awaited political plunge citing his health condition.
At that time, Rajinikanth said the doctors had advised him that fluctuating blood pressure would affect his transplanted kidney.
