Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj has refuted rumors that Rajinikanth’s health was affected during the shooting of his upcoming film Coolie. Speaking to the media, Lokesh clarified that the superstar had informed him about his upcoming treatment a month in advance.

Terming these reports as false, the filmmaker also said that if the actor had suffered any pain during the shoot, he would have canceled it.

Addressing the media, Lokesh Kanagaraj said, “Rajini sir is recovering. I spoke to him over the phone. I want to clarify something. He had informed the team about forty days ago that he would be undergoing treatment. So, It’s sad to see this lie.” The news spread on social media.”

“After all, Rajini sir’s health is more important than the shooting of Coolie. If he had any discomfort on the set, we would have canceled the shoot, and the entire unit would have been with him in the hospital. It was disappointing to see such lies being spread by YouTubers. “, he explained.

Rajinikanth was recently admitted to a hospital in Chennai and underwent surgery to help a swollen blood vessel. The superstar was discharged on Thursday, October 3.
