Super-Mega-Star Rajnikant, who is fondly referred to as Thalaiva too, has been in the news lately for various reasons. He is making a foray into political field and plans to contest elections in Tamil Nadu early next year, claiming blessings from late MGR. Before that Rajnikanth is busy completing his movie commitments and is in Hyderabad for his next films’ shoot. Unfortunately a few crew members of that film’s unit contracted Covid 19 and the shooting had to be stopped.

Everyone present on the sets have isolated themselves, including Rajnikanth. When Covid test was carried out he is found to be negative for corona. But due to other complications he has been hospitalised. The Apollo Hospital, Hyderabad, have issued an official health bulletin on Rajnikanth which reads, ‘Mr. Rajnikanth was admitted in the hospital today morning. He was shooting for a movie in Hyderabad since the last 10 days. A couple of people on the sets tested positive for Covid-19.
