Rajinikanth's fans perform special prayers for his speedy recovery

Rajinikanth was admitted to Kauvery Hospital in Chennai on Thursday and underwent carotid artery revascularisation on Friday.

According to a medical bulletin issued by the Kauvery Hospital, the Padma Bhushan awardee is recovering well after he underwent carotid endarterectomy which is a surgical procedure that removes plaque from the inside of a patient's carotid artery in order to restore normal blood flow to the brain. The medical bulletin also stated that the actor is likely to be discharged in a few days.

'Annaatthe', helmed by Siva, also stars Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Khushboo, and Prakash Raj. The movie, which is now scheduled to release on November 4, was postponed several times due to the production delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
