On October 28, 2021, Rajinikanth's family admitted him to the Kauvery Hospital in Chennai after the legendary actor reportedly complained of uneasiness and chest pain. According to a report in IBT, Rajinikanth's wife, Latha, in a conversation with a Tamil news channel, assured the fans that her husband was hospitalised for a routine checkup.
Soon after her statement, Rajinikanth's publicist, Riaz K Ahmed, also opened up about the superstar's health in an interview with PTI and said, "It is a health checkup done routinely on a periodical basis. He is now in a private hospital for the checkup." Rajinikanth's relative, Y Gee Mahendran, opened up about his discharge and said, "Rajinikanth is taking rest at the hospital. I am not sure of the treatment he is getting right now. But, he would have been discharged by the time Annaatthe hits the screens."

For the unversed, Rajinikanth's film, Annaatthe, is all set to hit the theatres on November 4, 2021, and no wonder his massive fanbase is praying for his speedy recovery and his discharge from the hospital before the release of the much-awaited film. Talking about Rajinikanth's health in recent years, it was only last year in December 2020, when the actor was admitted to the Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad. The actor was hospitalised after he had complained about exhaustion and fluctuation in his blood pressure. However, the actor was soon discharged from the hospital and had continued filming for his film.
Earlier this year, on February 26, 2021, Rajinikanth and his wife, Latha had celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. On their special occasion, their doting daughter, Aishwarya, had shared a beautiful sketch that had featured her nana and nani on the left-hand side and her dada and dadi on the right. In the middle, we could see Rajinikanth and Latha holding each other's hands.
Along with this priceless portrait, Aishwarya had penned a heart-melting letter in the caption. An excerpt from it could be read as:
"She embraced them as a family and he took care of hers like his own till the end of their days ... I truly believe that my grandparents are angels guarding the two of you through life with its every possible twist and at each turn."
